At the core of the offering is Hakkaisan’s 1-1-1 sake, brewed exclusively for the hotel and named after
Palace Hotel Tokyo’s prestigious address at 1-1-1 Marunouchi. While in residence, guests can enjoy atasting of two sake-based cocktails at Royal Bar, a legendary enclave helmed by a Diageo World Class
bartender. The first, Usumomiji, is inspired by the autumn leaves of Mt. Hakkai, the setting of thepremium brewery, and is made of an airy blend of 1-1-1 sake and plum wine (both produced byHakkaisan) as well as cassis syrup. The second, Tsumugi or 'spin' in English, presents a creamy andrefreshing mix of the signature sake, amazake (sweet sake), fresh cream and advocaat liqueur.
Guests are also invited to savor the limited-edition Hakkaisan afternoon tea presentation at The Palace
Lounge (or in-room) as part of their sake-inspired getaway. To highlight the drink’s versality, theautumn afternoon tea includes a number of treats infused with sake and amazake as well as some of
the key ingredients used in the production of sake – such as a sake-flavored foie gras terrine,
mozzarella bites pickled with miso made of sake kasu, amazake focaccia with salmon and prosciutto,koji-flavored roasted tea crème brulée and sake kasu-flavored scones – all artfully presented in anelegant, three-tiered jyubako lacquered box.
