The MSCC is a competition designed to draw out the creativity of bartenders, inspired by the free spirit of the moonshine made during the Prohibition era. At this event, Kazunori Shizuya, who served as a judge for the 2025 competition, and the winner, Seiji Oishi (of THE HISAKA), will serve cocktails using whiskey and gin produced by "Distillery Water Dragon" in Mishima City, Shizuoka Prefecture.

Guests can enjoy special cocktails created from the unique perspectives of Mr. Oishi, who has experience in sake production in Akita, and Mr. Shizuya, who holds the title of Master of Whiskey. The event will be a cash-on-delivery style. This will be a valuable opportunity to witness the fusion of skills from two individuals with different backgrounds with spirits nurtured in the land of Mishima.
