MASSIVE TOP SECRET ANNOUNCEMENT: What I've Been Hiding All Year FINALLY Revealed (Patreon)

At long long long last.
I can finally reveal this huge announcement I've been alluding to for many weeks now...

A very exciting announcement that'll have big, exciting, stressful, wonderful ramifications for the rest of the year. A project that we've been working on since the start of 2024.

WE ARE OPENING A REAL, ACTUAL BAR IN TOKYO!

Following on from the incredible success of last year's Kyoto bar last year, we wanted to follow it up with a Tokyo bar.

But unlike Kyoto, rather than a limited week long event, this time we've gone all in and actually opened a full blown cocktail bar, in a renovated space, right in the absolute centre of Tokyo that'll hopefully be around for years to come.

This time everyone can swing by.

From delicious 'Like a Magic' cocktails and my dream cheese plate, to a swanky private room with Pacman and an awesome night time vibe, it's the quintessential Abroad in Japan bar made alongside Sharla.

I won't lie, it's been a long journey to get here. Turns out starting and renovating a bar in Tokyo isn't easy (surprise surprise).

And there's plenty more to reveal and discuss.

But it opens next week! And before it officially opens to the public, we'll be holding a Patreon-only event for a few hours before the doors open.

Obviously tickets are limited but fear not if you can't make it, it won't be the last Patreon event.
And of course, after that you can swing by any time you like - it's a bar after all!

Tickets for the event are here:

As you'd expect, we've got a hilarious bumper video coming out with tours with the holy trinity of excellent (Natsuki, Pete, Connor), similar to the ramen shop studio reveal.

And of course plenty of questions remain to be answered in the coming days.
Where is it? What's it called? What does a 'Too Much Volcano' cocktail taste like?

But get ready because August is going to be bloody wild.

For now though, as always guys thanks for your support. I couldn't have reached this point without you. Every year, I've wondered if there's one more level we can reach - one more boundary to be pushed.

Natsuki: The Movie, Journey Across Japan, Ken Watanabe, the Abroad in Japan studio, raising $1m on the Cyclethon, the bestselling book, meeting the King and the Emperor at Buckingham Palace. It's all been bloody crazy and hard to keep up with honestly. 

Having a tangible, real location Abroad in Japan viewers can sit, drink and escape the chaos of Tokyo is a long awaited and very exciting step indeed.

Can't wait to see you there guys,

Chris

P.S. Also this month we've got the cycle video dropping and the Q&A video amongst other videos! The icing on the cake.
