Kohei
, veteran F&B cocktails expert from Tokyo, internationally notorious drinks-man. I've developed several bars and restaurants in Shanghai, including Y's Table Bar and Kitchen, el COCTEL, el Ocho, and Bikini.
The highlight of my career was when I met "el Willy, The Sexy Chef" of el Willy Group. Working with el Willy, I ran el COCTEL, one of Shanghai's most popular cocktail lounges, serving badass
Japanese-inspired drinks, in the Former French Concession.
My world has always been strongly attached to cocktail culture, and my curiosity has always been for people and culture.
I've dedicated my entire life to coming up with hard-hitting,
delicious drinks and managing F&B businesses curated for modern and urban lifestyles.
Now with Kohei's at 151 Dong Khoi in Ho Chi Minh City, I'm putting my heart into something new and sharing my philosophy of "Communication."
Everyone talks, be it to colleagues, friends, and family, but I always
ask, how do you make connections if you don't have true communication?
The answer: You do at Kohei's bar.
