The Best of the Nightlife Worlds

Tonight Hatsune celebrated its 8 Year Anniversary, and what a celebration it was! 

The evening started off with a kick-ass dinner party at the original Hatsune – all you can eat and drink sake for only 200rmb, (which booked out within 3 hours of me sending out the notification! – Definitely a record for the quickest sold-out event.)

Afterwards, the celebration continued with the official party at Hatsune in Sanlitun Village, with all-you-can-drink cocktails and sake plus more sushi for 100rmb. Let’s not forget the acrobat performances, which were jaw-dropping.  Unreal.  I wish I had photos to post, but must’ve skipped my mind in my state of shock.

The breakdown: About 70 (out of the 150) dinner guests came for more of the Hatsune goodness along with another 250 Hatsune Sushi Samurais.

Packed Out

The result: A stunning fusion of beautiful people letting loose and getting crunk. With the massive sake wells, flowing cocktails, sushi samplers, acrobat amusement, and all the old school hits, this was something exceptional. It felt like a combination of the best vibes and crowds from Punk, Block 8, and Bling – all together at the same time.

Today was a reason to celebrate. Since 2001 when the original Hatsune on Guanghua Lu first opened to the 5 additional restaurants Alan has opened, things have come a long way.

On behalf of Alan and the Hatsune Team, I sincerely thank you for your continued support and for making Hatsune a Beijing legend.

Thanks to everyone for the great turn-out and for making this such a memorable event!

*Note to self: After the opening party and this 8 year anniversary, Hatsune should seriously consider doing this regularly.
