Japan has always held a special place at Empirical. We are honoured to celebrate the launch of Empirical in Japan and asked five Master Bartenders to share their thoughts on our core products and showcase their interpretation through unique cocktails.
-- Episode 4: Atsushi Suzuki - The Bellwood, Tokyo --
This cocktail showcases the identity of The Bellwood and Ayuuk.
The Bellwood is inspired by the cafes from the late Meiji to Taisho eras. As such, coffee is an integral part of its identity. “For this cocktail, we use an original blend from Bontain Coffee. By combining South American coffee with Ayuuk, we aim to channel the Oaxacan landscapes filled with the scent of chilis”. The aromatic smoke accompanying the cocktail is reminiscent of morning fog in the Sierra Norte mountains.

Atsushi Suzuki has worked behind bars around the world, in Tokyo, New York, London and Toronto. After compiling a bounty of international awards, he started the "Bellwood Experiment Inc." in 2018 and the doors of The Bellwood opened in Tokyo in 2020.
