Kyochika's take
Two Christmas-only cocktails at the bar that created a classic Japanese cocktail.
"Noël Rouge" is vodka and raspberry with a snow garnish and ribbon; "Noël Ambre" is bourbon and Grand Marnier with an orange crystal.
¥2,909 per glass. Seems good for a drink after seeing the Yamashita Park illuminations.

What cocktail stories from Yokohama's past live on at Sea Guardian?
Yokohama retains a cocktail tradition shaped by its history as an international port. One drink introduced by Hotel New Grand is the Bamboo, said to have been created by Louis Eppinger, manager of Yokohama's former Grand Hotel. That hotel operated from 1873 to 1923.
Martini New Grand has its own story. Shortly after World War II, when the hotel was under occupation, dry vermouth was unavailable. A bartender substituted sherry, and the resulting martini reportedly proved popular with military officers. The bar also introduces cocktails such as the Yokohama and Million Dollar. While sipping a Christmas cocktail, discover the stories of the drinks passed down through this port city.
