OSAKA'S ROGIN
呂仁
Two Worlds. One Spirit.
Logline
A bar owner in Osaka builds a collection of bourbon that transcends time, reflecting a quest for meaning and connection, distilled through the lens of American bourbon culture.
The Journey
Seiichiro Tatsumi meticulously curated a collection of rare spirits, from 1960s-era Colonel E.H. Taylor to a 1933 Mt. Vernon Pure Rye unearthed in Maryland.
The Philosophy
Rogin's Tavern is a cultural bridge where the rich legacy of American spirits meets the timeless traditions of Osaka's hospitality.
Testimony
"People make pilgrimages from as far as Kentucky and Tennessee to visit a bar that essentially doubles as a time machine."
— Nicholas Coldicott
