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.

About this event

Noel Rouge brings out the sweet-tart character of raspberries with a vodka base, while Noel Ambre combines bourbon whiskey with the orange notes of Grand Marnier. Sea Guardian II, the bar at Hotel New Grand, introduces these two limited-edition Christmas cocktails for 2026. Noel Rouge is distinguished by a snow-style rim and ribbon decoration on its wine glass, while Noel Ambre is topped with an orange crystal garnish. Choose between fruity brightness and the rich depth of bourbon.

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.
