Yoshi Nama Gin & Cocktail Bar
Food chemist and bartender Max Bergfried is behind this heavily alcoholic declaration of love for the Düsseldorf district “Little Tokyo”. Yoshi Nama is a German gin with a Japanese spirit: true to what grows together in nature also harmonizes in terms of taste: juniper, sloe, lingonberry and gentian form the heart of this gin.
The always cheerful Tanuki Yoshi opens his Gin & Cocktail Bar in the Bönnsche Bimmel for us exclusively this AiKon. Delicious cocktails and a welcoming atmosphere await you here!
Shibari Refuge Workshops
Düsseldorf-based Jan aka JPBondage is an internationally renowned artist of the Japanese Shibari / Kinbaku bondage art.
We have met Jan for the first time at AIKON 2019. Now we are happy to welcome him and his team to AIKON for the second time.
The Shibari Refuge Düsseldorf sees itself as a protected place where this art and philosophy is practiced and lived with sense and understanding.
This artful handling of the rope in the form of decorative bondage has also found a permanent place in cosplay.
Outdoor Games
We are planning a jizzy event for our outdoor area, so bring some extra clothes and a towel with you 😉 Showers are available and no, no person covered in fluids is allowed near the Artist Alley.
More information will follow!
