Saito, the senior director of bars at the Tokyo Edition hotels in the Japanese capital’s Ginza and Toranomon neighbourhoods, has drawn on a decade of visits to various countries for the menu.
He began his bartending career in Tokyo but left in 2010 to work in London, New York, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. In 2017, he was one of eight bartenders to reach the final of the Bacardi Legacy global cocktail competition in Berlin, Germany.
After 10 years abroad, Saito returned to Japan to join Tokyo Edition in 2020.
He oversees the Gold Bar at Tokyo Edition Toranomon (ranked 76th in the extended Asia’s 50 Best Bars list for 2024) and the Lobby Bar at the Tokyo Edition Ginza.
