Kanazawa Tokyu Hotel, situated in Korinbo, the heart of Kanazawa, will hold a special cocktail fair in honor of 'Cocktail Day' at the Marais d'Or 'Bar' for a limited time from Thursday, May 7, to Wednesday, May 13, 2026.
When the hustle and bustle of Golden Week quietly subsides and calm nights return to Kanazawa. The soft noise born the moment the record needle drops, and the sound of amber liquid dancing in a glass. These elements of 'silence and sound' resonate to offer a quiet reward for your hard work, or a space to converse with loved ones while cherishing the deepening night. We propose a quiet, margin of time exclusively for adults.
■ What is Cocktail Day?
May 13, 1806. An answer was recorded in the weekly newspaper 'The Balance and Columbian Repository' in New York state. To a reader's question, 'What is a cocktail?', the editor replied: 'It is a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters.'
Over 220 years later, that definition remains unchanged. However, the emotions carried by a cocktail continue to be newly born each night by the hands of bartenders. Coinciding with this anniversary, cocktail events are being held across Japan, and the momentum is growing in Kanazawa as well.
■ Original Craft Gin 'Sato no Kaori'
The star of this fair is the hotel-supervised original craft gin, 'Sato no Kaori'.
The soft sweetness of rice bran, the dignified coolness of Ishikawa yuzu, the deep forest silence harbored by Noto Hiba, and the faint scorching heat left by Kensaki Namba.
It is a bottle that distills the very land of Kanazawa, truly a drink to 'taste the land.'
Take a sip, and the landscape of Kaga Hyakumangoku quietly spreads out, lingering long in your heart. Pioneering a new horizon for Japanese craft gin, this drink goes beyond mere tasting; it is a cup that quietly remains as a memory.
During this drink fair, we will prepare 5 types of cocktails using this 'Sato no Kaori'. From classic masterpieces to creative concoctions, we have prepared a lineup that we sincerely recommend to both cocktail fans and those experiencing craft gin for the first time.
■ Fair Limited Cocktail Menu
・Gin Rickey (Gin + Lime Juice + Soda)
The refreshing burst of Ishikawa yuzu serves as an entrance to a summer evening. A crisp drink that anticipates the coming season.
・Martini (Gin + Dry Vermouth)
The orthodox choice for adults, with all excess stripped away. The multi-layered flavor of 'Sato no Kaori' is sharpened amidst the sound of records.
・Negroni (Gin + Sweet Vermouth + Campari)
Within the bitter finish, the deep woody fragrance of Noto Hiba quietly melds. A drink whose umami deepens as the night progresses, perfectly suited for the nights of this city.
・Spring Feeling (Gin + Chartreuse Verte + Lemon Juice)
A floral cocktail that seems to capture the essence of May in Kanazawa in a single glass. A fleeting yet beautiful taste, as if softly holding the end of a transient spring inside the glass.
・Alaska (Gin + Chartreuse Jaune)
Glacier-like transparency with a powerful hidden heat. A noble masterpiece leaves new footprints in the Kanazawa night.
■ 'Marais d'Or', enjoying sound and time at a hotel bar in Kanazawa
The Marais d'Or 'Bar', the stage for this fair, is a space produced by Naoki Tachikawa, a producer/director who has worked across a wide range of genres including music, film, art, theater, and publishing since the late 1960s.
Jazz masterpieces and beloved classics that transcend eras.
The analog records carefully selected by the bartender bring a quiet time to the space from the moment the needle drops.
The soft texture of sound that cannot be reproduced digitally overlaps beautifully with a glass.
An intimate and private atmosphere with only 7 counter seats. The dimly lit interior feels like a secret place hidden in the city of Kanazawa, known only to adults. A special moment that exists neither on a travel night nor as an extension of everyday life is here.
