The custom-fabricated Tiny House featured two indoor bar experiences in addition to the outdoor activation. The immersive experience brought guests into the world of Japan and the House of Suntory while educating them on the new spirits that included vodka, gin, and whiskey.
The inside of the Tiny House offered a serene environment to have master mixologists artfully craft one of three cocktails. The experience was rooted in Japanese hospitality and attention to detail.
