The House of Suntory debuts its celebrated immersive experience, One Night in Toki-O, at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj international airport, marking the first-ever global travel retail showcase of this activation. From 2 September to 30 September 2025, travellers passing through Mumbai international departures will be transported into a captivating world where the soul of traditional Japan meets the pulse of modern Tokyo, says a press release.
At One Night in Toki-O, travellers can engage hands-on with the traditional Japanese art of Hanko stamping and personalise custom screen-printed tote bags that serve as lasting mementos. Adding to the atmosphere is the energy from a vinyl listening bar, setting the perfect soundtrack to an unforgettable night.
More than a tasting event, this immersive space is a cultural pause point—a moment to discover and celebrate craftsmanship, creativity, and the spirit of reinvention. One Night in Toki-O offers travellers a rare opportunity to experience the duality of Japan, where history and modernity come together in perfect harmony.
The Spirit of Toki
At the heart of the experience is Toki, a pioneering Japanese spirit that challenges convention. A harmonious blend of Yamazaki and Hakushu Single Malts with Chita Single Grain, Toki is known for its silky texture, fresh character, and a flavour profile that balances basil, green apple, and honey on the nose with a palate of grapefruit, green grapes, and peppermint.
Travellers will also have the opportunity to explore other iconic spirits from The House of Suntory, including Roku and Haku, each a tribute to Japanese artistry and precision.
Ashish Gandham, managing director, Global Travel Retail, Suntory Global Spirits said, “With One Night in Toki-O, we’re creating a cultural pause point at Mumbai Airport, a space where travelers and spirit lovers can momentarily step into the spirit of contemporary Japan. Having seen the incredible enthusiasm for this immersive experience in our showcases across select cities in India, we are now thrilled to bring it to global travel retail and reach a diverse audience. From design and music to craftsmanship and flavour, every element is meant to spark curiosity and offer a memorable encounter with the world of Toki – our most vibrant and contemporary Japanese spirit. This is about turning transit into a moment of quiet discovery and connection for spirit lovers and curious travelers alike.”
“At Ospree, we focus on curating thoughtful, value-led experiences that elevate every stage of the journey,” shared an Ospree Duty Free spokesperson. “The departures store offers more than shopping, it’s a space where travellers can immerse themselves in culture and creativity. One Night in Toki-O is a perfect example of how we bring global innovation to Indian travellers, turning transit into a moment of discovery.”
