BarShows are the main event for the alcoholic beverage and bar industries and are held in the name of the region in which they occur. These exciting events draw attention from across the globe regardless of whether you are an industry insider or not.
In 2012, the Tokyo International BarShow was the first to be held in Asia. It held in conjunction with Whisky Live, a global event well known in Japan. A world’s first to bring together bars, cocktails, and whisky with a hugely successful program that satisfied liquor lovers of all kinds.
It was held at Tokyo Midtown in 2012, Bellesalle Shibuya Garden in 2013 and Prism Hall of Tokyo Dome City in 2014. Although the event was cancelled during 2020-2022 due to COVID-19, the number of visitors has increased year by year, in 2023 and 2025 attracting a total of around 14,100 people across the two days.
Ongoing demonstrations by the world’s most famous bartenders making cherished domestic and foreign alcohol accessible to all in this, the Tokyo International BarShow, the grandest event of the bar industry.
The 2026 event slogan is ”Smash the World.” Our special guest is Mr. Joerg Meyer. As a travelling mixologist, he journeys around the world, spreading the word about cocktails. He is also responsible for making the Gin Basil Smash a modern standard cocktail. As we take cocktail and bar culture from Tokyo to the world, we have made “Smash the World” a statement of the passion and excitement we expect from this year’s Tokyo International BarShow.
