Taiwan’s cocktail culture is more than just drinks Taiwan’s cocktail culture is more than just drinks—it’s storytelling in a glass. In the latest instalment of my series Sip by Sip | My Cocktail Journey Through Taiwan, I return to Kaohsiung, where creativity brews quietly and confidently beneath the tropical heat. This chapter explores two unforgettable bars: @voiceover158 and @bar.dip_tw

Why These Bars Mattered to Me | What connected the Why These Bars Mattered to Me | What connected these bars wasn’t just ownership or aesthetic—it was intention. Each venue explored what it means to be Japanese through the lens of flavour: fermented rice, roasted tea, smoke, soil, ritual, and restraint. They made space for silence and ceremony in a city that never stops buzzing. They reminded me that a great cocktail isn’t just a combination of ingredients. It’s a conversation—between cultures, histories, and people. And Tokyo? Tokyo has a lot to say. Here’s what I have to say about it on barstalker.de

What I Look for in a Bar—And Why Tokyo Surprised M What I Look for in a Bar—And Why Tokyo Surprised Me | When I walk into a bar, I want more than a drink. I’m looking for something that lingers—a creative spark, a ritual, a moment that stays with me long after the glass is empty. I want cocktails that tell a story. Japan is famous for elevating bartending to an art form, especially in Tokyo, where precision and tradition meet experimentation and quiet innovation. But it wasn’t the whisky highballs or perfect Manhattans I was chasing this time. I wanted to explore something more local—not just geographically, but spiritually. And what I found? A trio of bars that reimagine Japan’s native ingredients—tea, shochu, sake—and blend tradition with cutting-edge technique. These were not just drinks; they were conversations in a glass.

Spotlight on the Mixology Group | At the cutting e Spotlight on the Mixology Group | At the cutting edge of Tokyo’s cocktail innovation is the Mixology Group, helmed by acclaimed bartender and drinks creator @shuzonagumo . His portfolio of concept-driven bars fuses traditional Japanese ingredients with modern mixology techniques, resulting in some of the city’s most talked-about drinking destinations. Each bar explores a unique angle—from aged cocktails and tea-based creations. I visited three of these standout bars— @folklore_okuroji , @mixology_salon , and the classic @mixologyheritage . Let’s dive into the drinks and discoveries from each of these remarkable places. Be my guest on barstalker.de | link in profile

Kaohsiung, Taiwan – a city kissed by sea breeze an Kaohsiung, Taiwan – a city kissed by sea breeze and neon light. Hidden in an unassuming building lies Bar Dip: a modern cocktail sanctuary woven with Hakka heritage. One sip of their Indigo Forest—herbal, floral, whispering of blue dye traditions—and you’re transported. Every drink here tells a story. Subtle. Unexpected. Local.  Kaohsiung is full of contrasts—lush parks, brutalist buildings, vibrant food stalls. And cocktails that think beyond the glass.
