One Night In Toki-O Is Bringing Japanese Food, Drinks, Music, & Art To Bengaluru

Tokyo's vibrant mix of music, food, design and nightlife is making its way to Bengaluru with One Night in Toki-O, an immersive Japanese cultural festival by Toki Suntory Whisky in association with Homegrown. Taking place at GoRally Pickleball, Indiranagar, the 21+ event promises four hours packed with music, food, cocktails, art, gaming and cultural experiences inspired by contemporary Japan.

Built around the idea of 'Toki', the Japanese word for time, the festival explores how Japanese heritage continues to evolve through modern creativity. Every edition transforms its venue into a cultural playground, bringing together artists, musicians, chefs, designers and creators to present a fresh interpretation of Japan's ever-changing cultural landscape while staying connected to the craftsmanship and spirit of the House of Suntory. Over the past two years, One Night in Toki-O has grown into a multi-city cultural property that has brought thousands of people together through city-specific collaborations celebrating music, food, fashion, design and culture.

The Bengaluru edition brings together a wide mix of experiences. One of the biggest highlights is BarFind, India's first travelling bar founded by Diganta Chakraborty. After beginning as a hidden cocktail bar inside a Victorian building in Kolkata and later making Mumbai its base, BarFind arrives in Bengaluru with a special takeover built around the House of Suntory portfolio. Developed alongside Matteo Ciarpaglini, the cocktail menu moves through bright, savoury drinks, spirit-forward pours, aromatic creations and dessert-style cocktails, alongside BarFind favourites like the Negroni and Manhattan. True to its philosophy of discovery, every city becomes part of BarFind's journey, carrying forward its familiar invitation: "Finders, Keepers."

Food is another major part of the evening, with Japanese dining experiences from Kuuraku, known for its traditional izakaya-style meals, gourmet sandwiches from Bengaluru favourite Sando Club, and matcha-based treats from Coco Club, including Matcha and MatchaGato. Music takes over with vinyl DJ sets by On the Jungle Floor and Unnayanaa, while visitors can also explore screen-printing workshops by Art Curry, browse trinkets and Gashapon collectibles by Nikhil Kapil, and spend time inside the arcade space and vinyl collective.

The event begins at 8 PM on August 1 and features standing indoor access for guests aged 21 and above. With Japanese-inspired food, cocktails, music, art, arcade experiences and immersive installations all under one roof, One Night in Toki-O offers Bengaluru an evening shaped by the many ways Japanese culture continues to inspire creative communities across the world.
