HONG KONG SIGNATURE Pop-Up Store
In 2023, The Time Sommelier has once again worked with Lcx designing a unique pop-up experience for shoppers at Lcx Habour City, Tsim Sha Tsui Kowloon. As the title of the concept says, this pop-up store is about signature products and brands of Hong Kong. But rather than just delivering the experience by gathering traditional products made in Hong Kong, we have strategically planned and worked with various Hong Kong brands that are relatively young but yet delivering an interesting Hong Kong story, including one of the few Gin distilleries in Hong Kong – Two Moons; a tonic water and soft drink manufacturers – Mezzanine Makers; scented candles and aroma diffuser brand – BeCandle; award-winning bottled Hong Kong Cha-Chaan-Teng style Milk Tea producer – Mount Wave and etc. Together with the brands, we have also delivered multiple sessions of weekend workshops and tasting experience.

Very different from the traditional architecture & vibe that we have done previously with “Once Upon a Reiwa Autumn”, The Time Sommelier has designed the concept of JIDAI YOKOCHO 時代横丁, namely a Yokocho 横丁 (shopping street) inside Times Square (時代廣場) as an installation that will remind one of the favorite travel destinations of Hong Kongers of all time – Japan. It consists of the following elements in the compound: 1) A Photo-taking spot of YOKOCHO setup ; 2) An Exhibition of Japanese Craftmanship ; 3) Retail Area Bottle Shop as well as related products ; 4) Tasting Area of Japanese Beverage (Sake, Wine, Shochu, Beer).

Once Upon a Reiwa Autumn
The Time Sommelier Ltd has presented an indoor Japanese festival experience – “Once Upon a Reiwa Autumn” Festival at Lcx Harbour City. With installations that are seen in traditional Japanese festivals and many other picture-worthy sites, local patrons are in luck to be surrounded by all things Japanese. Japanese and sake cultures take center stage, with the festival filled with fun games with prizes, workshops, and among all, a new pop-up store IPPINKAN by the time sommelier, which introduced Japanese Sake, Wine, Craftmanship as well as other Japanese lifestyle products.
