Iichiko is the official
Japanese Spirits partner of GastroBeats 2025

Drop by the iichiko Bar by Makoto-Ya to experience Japan’s Original Craft Spirit,
back this year with even more creations for our popular highballs and cocktails, alongside premium Wakabotan Japanese sake.

Japan’s Original Craft Spirit

iichiko Shochu is Japan’s #1 shochu brand, and the native spirit of Japan –
a white spirit that’s incredibly rich in flavor, yet smooth and easy to drink with food. 


All iichiko products are a true expression of a pristine natural environment. iichiko is crafted in Oita,
a region famous for its clean air, lush greenery and geothermal springs.

Popular Highballs,
Now in New Flavours!

Back by popular demand, we will have a total of four shochu highballs –
Lemon Highball, Calpis Highball, and our two new flavours White Peach Highball, and Uji Matcha Highball. We will also be offering a non-alcoholic version of the highballs! 

Award-Winning Premium Japanese Sake

Also on the menu are the award-winning Wakabotan sake, a duo of the finest sake best enjoyed chilled and can be paired with a variety of different foods. 

Wakabotan Hinohikari Junmai Ginjyo Sake is made using local rice grown from Oita Prefecture –
Aromatic and elegant with subtle aromas of flowers and apples, and flavours of grapefruit and muscat grape.


Wakabotan Yamada Nishiki Junmai Ginjyo sake is made with high-quality Yamada Nishiki rice.
Fruity with gentle aromas, the taste is paired with flavors of pear and honeydew and rice umami.
