An Evening with Glenfiddich
Join us for an exclusive new chapter in our dinner series as Yugen teams up with Glenfiddich, the world’s most awarded single malt Scotch whisky.
Hosted by Glenfiddich Brand Ambassador, Ross Blainey, this intimate evening will take you on a guided journey through some of the distillery’s rarest and most exceptional aged releases. Ross will share the tales, tasting notes and insights that brought each dram to life.
From the elegance of the 18yo to the richness of the 26yo, every sip will be matched with a 5-course tasting menu that highlights the whisky’s character and complexity.

Learn the elegant brush techniques of Sumi-e (ink painting) with Junko Azukawa in a unique 90-minute Japanese ink painting workshop in Yugen. Rooted in simplicity and mindfulness, Sumi-e is more than art — it’s a meditative practice that invites calm, focus, and self-expression. After the workshop, head upstairs to YTB to enjoy a bespoke high tea menu, inspired by Junko’s creative style and artwork.
