SPOTLIGHT
Taste of the
Rising Sun
The Salon du Japonisant
has hidden its presence
well on busy Sukhumvit
39, but cocktail-lovers who
make the discovery are
immediately transfixed by
its gigantic wooden shelves
with an impressive array of
imported liqueurs poised to
be transformed into brilliant
concoctions. Head bartender
Kei Sawada plays his cards
well, with fantastic ideas
distilled from behind-thecounter
experience in Osaka,
Okinawa and
Australia. Try the
all-time favourite
Smoke Rosemary – a
smoky G&T fuelled by
Japanese gin and elderflower
tonic laced with smoked
rosemary and spices. Or the
Oriental Jewellery, a warm,
spicy blend of coffee-flavoured
rum and cinnamon. Open
Monday-Saturday 7pm-1am,
36/5 Phromsri 1, Sukhumvit 39,

GET HEALTHY, GET FRESH!
Dressed, Thailand’s healthy fast-food chain, has reinvented
itself as “getfresh” – though its signature fresh and healthy
food remains unchanged. Famed for its wide variety of
high-quality, delicious food at reasonable prices, customers
can also rest assured that getfresh obtains its ingredients
from sustainable sources, including its own
organic farm in Pranburi. Diners can
either opt for the chef’s delicious
dishes or design their own meal
from the organic produce
on offer. Open 10am-10pm
daily, G/F Samyan Mitrtown,
944 Rama IV Rd., getfresh.

JAPANESE PAMPERING
Tucked away in a tranquil corner of

to clients seeking to escape the
hustle of city life. The spa delivers
personalised treatments using mineral
essences from Japan’s finest hot
springs. Go for the thoroughly sensual
Kashikiri Shiatsu Technique for a
soothing head-to-toe massage, or the
Tea to Heaven treatment combining
private onsen or Japanese bath with

Jurlique facial. Open daily 10am-10pm,
