Sumo Old Fashioned in Collaboration with The House of Suntory Whisky

For the first time since 1991, the Grand Sumo Tournament returns to London, taking over the Royal Albert Hall for an unmissable five-day basho, only the second time in history the official tournament has been held outside Japan.

To mark this momentous occasion, The House of Suntory’s Hibiki Whisky has partnered with some of London’s most celebrated venues, including our very own Sea Containers Restaurant and 12th Knot Bar, to create an exclusive cocktail inspired by Japanese ritual and artistry.

At Sea Containers Restaurant and 12th Knot, guests can experience the Sumo Old Fashioned (£25). A refined serve blending Suntory Hibiki Harmony, chestnut & pear cordial, and yuzu bitters. Each sip captures the balance and craftsmanship that defines both Hibiki and the Japanese spirit of harmony.

Join us in celebrating this extraordinary cultural moment. Where fine dining, mixology, and Japanese tradition meet on the banks of the Thames.
