Akina welcomes one of the world’s most celebrated international cocktail destinations, Lamp Bar, Nara, Japan, ranked as Asia’s 46th Best Bar (Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025), for a one-night-only guest shift facilitated by All Things Nice in two cities, Mumbai and Hyderabad. Led by legendary bartender Michito Kaneko, winner of the World’s Best Bartender title at the Diageo Reserve World Class Cocktail Competition 2015, Lamp Bar is widely regarded as a destination bar in itself, known for its deeply personal, menu-free cocktail philosophy that puts Japanese hospitality at the forefront.

Unlike conventional cocktail bars, Lamp Bar does not offer a fixed menu. Instead, Kaneko and his team engage with each guest to understand individual preferences, moods, and flavour profiles before crafting completely bespoke cocktails on the spot. Each drink becomes a personalised expression of craftsmanship, intuition, and hospitality.
