Special Menu
You can enjoy some of our signature creations, including the legendary cocktails "Celebration" and "Havana Lanja."
"Celebration" (1986, written by Kazuya Watanabe)
In 1986, the year Keio Plaza Hotel celebrated its 15th anniversary, this cocktail was created as the winning entry in the 15th HBA (Hotel Bartenders Association) Creative Cocktail Competition. After pouring champagne into the glass, the other ingredients are added and then shaken, with the champagne bubbles lifting the mixture. This cocktail has been loved by guests for nearly 40 years and has now become a Standard cocktail, making it a fitting drink for celebrations.
2,200 yen (service charge and tax included)
"Havana Ranja" (2014, by Katsuya Takano)
This original cocktail won the top prize at the "Havana Club Cocktail Contest 2014." It's an innovative cocktail that utilizes the warm and rich flavor of "Havana Club 7 Year Old" and allows you to enjoy fresh oranges whole, along with the liquid.
2,100 JPY (service charge and tax included)
In addition, we offer original cocktails such as "Marionette" (1,900 yen) and "Shikisai" (1,900 yen).
