Feeling thirst-tea? For the first time ever, Shuzo Nagumo's award-winning Tokyo bar, Mixology Salon, is unveiling its first international location in Singapore.

Mixology Salon was first founded by master mixologist Shuzo Nagumo in Tokyo. The bar gained international acclaim for its signature ‘tea tails,’ a distinctive concept that showcases modern mixology techniques and the artful fusion of high-quality Japanese green tea leaves such as gyokuro, oolong, and hojicha in expertly crafted cocktails. At the heart of Shuzo's philosophy lies the meticulous combination of fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices with spirits. These creations eschew conventional flavoured liqueurs, showcasing Shuzo’s commitment to crafting unique flavour profiles.

Set to debut it's first international location on 7 June 2023 in Singapore's Robertson Quay, this Tokyo gem offers visitors outside Japan an opportunity to savour the same exquisite cocktail experience that Mixology Salon has become known for.

The new Mixology Salon Singapore will be helmed by Shuzo’s protégé, Kaoru Takii. The bar also collaborated with local pastry chef Janice Wong to bring some exclusive pastry bites to the menu. 

Visitors to Mixology Salon can en innovative drinks, including the Japanese Tea Espresso Martini (S$25++), the umami version of tea in a cocktail with exclusive gyokuro infused GREY GOOSE vodka, matcha, sencha and vanilla syrup.

For those seeking a refreshing delight, the Sencha Gin & Tonic (S$22++) blends the gentle astringency of Shizuoka Sencha, with deep umami flavours of Saga Sencha infused in BOMBAY SAPPHIRE gin.

Crafted with Grand Marnier, apricot liqueur, vermouth Rosso and IPA, the Iri-bancha & IPA (S$25++) cocktail offers tart and fruity notes with a profoundly smoky flavour from the Kyoto tea roasting process.

Savour the charm of Four Seams (S$26++), a savoury concoction that intertwines the harmonious blend of genmaicha with redistilled GREY GOOSE vodka and yuzu. Delicately served in a Masu cup, the drink invites guests to enjoy the captivating taste of genmaicha from one side of the cup, while on the other side a delightful interplay of miso, dashi, and cassis powder can be sipped with the drink to elevate and complement the flavour of the liquid.

Deliciously smooth, earthy and balanced - the renowned Green Tea Old Fashioned (S$26++) is a twist to the classic Old Fashioned that infuses the timeless allure of matcha with a harmonious blend of chocolate bitters, kuromitsu, vanilla bitters, bourbon and rye whiskey. 

Uniquely, Mixology Salon Singapore also offers a Gyokuro Cocktails Course ($65++) which allows guest to sample three distinct infusions of gyukuro of varying flavour intensities. In the course finale, the remaining tea leaves are savoured alongside smoked oyster soy sauce, complemented with the third brew of gyokuro tea.

“We are excited to open Mixology Salon in Singapore and share our passion for tea-infused mixology,” says Shuzo Nagumo, CEO of Spirits&Sharing and creator of the Mixology Group of bars. “We would like to thank GREY GOOSE vodka for their support towards the launch, and we look forward to connecting with our guests here and discovering local spices, ingredients, and insights beyond Japan from which to craft unique flavour profiles for all to enjoy.”
