In our humble opinion, few, if any do it better than The House of Suntory. Now in its fifth year, The House of Suntory DOJO programme has become synonymous with excellence in the bartending world, thanks to its focus on learning from dedicated Masters in the arts of Japanese craftsmanship.  Those who are fortunate enough to take part receive hands-on experience and skill-enhancing insights in the arts of flower arranging, sushi making, mindfulness, blending flavours and other revered disciplines, then apply them in their hospitality and bartending practices – all while immersing themselves in the core pillars of the brand and its origins. In this special episode we’re joined by The House of Suntory UK Ambassador Raffaele Di Monaco to tell us about how this year’s programme was put together; Gabriel St John Tucker, the overall winner on his learnings from taking part and Dave Broom, whiskey expert, one of the four experts who spoke at the final about how Japanese culture influences the way they work.  For more from The Cocktail Lovers, visit thecocktaillovers.com What we're drinking: Tokio Night 2 parts Toki Black 1/2 part coffee liqueur 2 dashes orange bitters Method: Add all ingredients to a mixing glass and add ice.
