Eko Prabowo
Eko Prabowo from The Tavern in Semarang was recently crowned as this year’s World Class Indonesia Country Winner. As the only bartender who made it to the Top 10 list outside of Jakarta and Bali, Eko honed his passion and skills throughout the years that he took part in the World Class competition, until he finally made it to be number one bartender in the country. His signature cocktail, the Marmalade Mule, is a slightly sweet, slightly sour creation that takes contrasting flavours and harmonises them impeccably.

Japanese bartender Michito Kaneko has, on multiple occasions, proved to be one of the world’s best bartenders. He had his big break in 2015 when he was crowned the World Class Bartender of the Year when, during the four-day finals in Cape Town, South Africa, Michito was singled out for the award from an original complement of 54 contenders. He is the owner of The Lamp Bar in Nara, Machito, and his signature libation is an inventive twist on an old classic.
