Roku Gin, together with GRAZIA Malaysia and Sun and Moon Restaurant, got people talking and interacting with new faces through their Come Alive campaign. The meaning behind the campaign was all about stepping into your stride and connecting with like-minded souls—and that’s exactly what happened at GRAZIA Malaysia’s second Long Table, where people from various industries came together to chat about their journeys and different perspectives. Conversation cards helped break the ice—and even sparked deeper conversations about everyone’s character.
The collab also saw Darwin Ng introduced as Suntory Brand Ambassador, Malaysia, bringing his creativity and knack for Japanese spirits to Southeast Asia’s ever-evolving cocktail scene. With Zax Lee, Sun and Moon’s Head of Bar, at the helm, the afternoon turned into a laid-back tapas-and-cocktail experience, with each dish paired with a Roku serve that highlighted its six signature botanicals: Sakura flower, Sakura leaf, Yuzu peel, Sencha tea, Gyokuro tea, and Sansho pepper.
A small yet thoughtful nod to the way local craft and Japanese precision met in the middle was the signature Roku Gin and Tonic, given a Malaysian twist. Crystallised ginger added a soft spice and citrus lift, opening up the Sakura leaf and Yuzu peel as you sipped, creating a bright, refreshing balance that felt perfect for daytime drinking.
Adding to the sense of collaboration was a limited-time menu of Roku Fizz creations. The Fizz format became an experimental canvas, especially in pairings like the fig and dry beef toast, where the richness and gentle sweetness mirrored the drink’s warmth and brightness. Other highlights included a Truffle Toast paired with a Roku Fizz layered with matcha and an acid blend.
Guests also got to explore The Living Bar, where they could personalise their drinks with a couple of garnishes, turning discovery into creation. Fresh herbs and natural elements were laid out, inviting everyone to pick what spoke to them and reconnect with the smells, textures, and flavours of nature.
The Roku Gin x Sun and Moon Experience will be available for a limited time from the 1st to the 31st of December 2025, exclusively at Sun and Moon, Kuala Lumpur. Reservations are highly recommended. For more information on the collaboration and online bookings, kindly visit this link.
