Long treasured in Japan yet rarely experienced abroad\, shochu is now introduced in its proper cultural and culinary context at the Paramount Club. \nJoin us for an evening dedicated to discovery through taste\, food pairing\, and technique—an Ichigo Ichie moment: one time\, one meeting. \nUnlike conventional spirits\, Honkaku Shochu is single-distilled\, naturally sugar-free\, and lower in alcohol (typically around 25%). Its purity and balance make it exceptionally food-driven—designed not to overpower\, but to evolve alongside cuisine. In Japan\, it is not consumed for intensity\, but for harmony. \nFeatured Hosts & Special Guests\nRyushin Komatsuyama\nShochu specialist and owner of Kokushu Matsu\, leading the seminar \nKenta Goto\nOwner of Bar Goto and Bar Goto Niban\, whose work has helped integrate Japanese spirits into modern dining and cocktail culture \nChristin “Suzu” Suzuki Orellana\nAcclaimed drink master and star of Netflix’s Drink Masters\, guiding the evening with insight\, clarity\, and warmth \nLive Performance by Masayo Ishigure\nInternationally recognized koto artist\, featuring Memory of Geisha\, weaving sound\, spirit\, and season into quiet balance
