The Peninsula Tokyo’s Peter: The Bar

Tokyo isn’t just a culinary hub. It’s also one of the world’s classiest cocktail capitals, where mixologists can mix a classic Manhattan that will knock your socks off. That’s exactly what Guest Bartender Mao Matsumoto of The Peninsula Tokyo’s Peter: The Bar aims to accomplish this Saturday, September 23, when she takes up her spot at The Bar of The Peninsula Manila during her takeover.

A one-night-only event, Mao Matsumoto will take her passion for cocktails from her skybar home overlooking the twinkling lights of the Japanese megalopolis on the 24th floor of The Peninsula Tokyo all the way to the cozy and intimate bar of The Peninsula Manila that’s sure to spark Manila’s already burgeoning bar scene even more.
