Embodying the concept of the shop name APOTHECA, which means "pharmacy," bartender Mr. Matsuo holds the title of World Champion of the 4th Hennessy Global Cocktail Competition. His signature creation "TOKUN" blends Chinese tea and tequila in a no-ice, highball-style drink that uses ice engineered for temperature control; it is a glass for "enjoying aroma" in which yuzu peel and jasmine scents intersect. His approach of delivering the optimal drink to each person like a prescription attracts enthusiasts both domestically and internationally.
