Bringing World-Class Bangkok Bar 'Opium Bar' to Miyakojima for an Exclusive Guest Shift

## A Night Curated by Rémy Cointreau Japan

Rémy Cointreau Japan, led by Representative Director Xavier Talo, is dedicated to revolutionizing the wine and spirits industry through a focus on quality and sustainable farming. They are bringing together industry leaders for a special night, hosting a guest shift at Rosewood Miyakojima's 'Choma Bar' on May 29, 2026 (Friday).

The event will feature directors from Bangkok's world-renowned 'Opium Bar,' Arnon “KK” Hoontrakul and Head Bar & Beverage Manager Matteo Cadeddu. The bartenders will craft one-day-only specialty cocktails using curated spirits, including the Fine Champagne Cognac 'Rémy Martin.'

## Opium Bar: Where History Meets Sensibility

Opium Bar, located in a 120-year-old building once used as an opium den, is a standout in Bangkok's bar scene. Ranked 43rd in the 'Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025,' the bar captivates cocktail enthusiasts worldwide with its unique approach to sublimation of history and local memory into cocktail form.

During the guest shift, they will utilize official sponsors of 'Asia’s 50 Best Bars' and 'The World’s 50 Best Bars,' such as Rémy Martin, Mount Gay (the world’s oldest rum from Barbados), and The Botanist gin, to craft signature cocktails that reflect Opium Bar’s distinct narrative flair.

## The Venue: Choma Bar and Poolside Bar YUKUU

The event will be held at Choma Bar, a luxury venue within Rosewood Miyakojima that draws inspiration from the legends and landscapes of the eight islands of the Miyako archipelago, expressing the spirit of the island in every glass. Additionally, signature cocktails featuring Cointreau, Rémy Martin, and The Botanist are scheduled to be available at the hotel's poolside bar, 'YUKUU,' starting in late May.

This guest shift provides an exclusive opportunity to experience world-class bar culture in Miyakojima, where Opium Bar’s sensibilities merge with the atmosphere of Choma Bar.
