Phuket 101 Profiles KOUJI ALCHEMIST at Velaa Langsuan
Phuket 101 published a feature by Willy Thuan on April 30, 2026, later updated on July 21, introducing KOUJI ALCHEMIST at Velaa Sindhorn Village in Bangkok.
Japanese Fermentation at the Centre
The article presents KOUJI ALCHEMIST as a small speakeasy built around Japanese fermentation craft. Koji and related techniques shape the concept, alongside a selection that includes sake, shochu, umeshu, Japanese whisky and gin, as well as house infusions.
A Hidden Space at Velaa Langsuan
Located on the B1 level of Velaa Sindhorn Village, the venue combines Japanese references with the atmosphere of a French salon. The feature notes its Art Deco arches, brass details, dark walnut surfaces and compact counter-and-table layout.
Omakase and Low-Temperature Distillation
Phuket 101 also describes a preference-led omakase cocktail format. A rotary evaporator is used under vacuum to distil aromatic ingredients at lower temperatures, helping preserve volatile top notes that can be lost through conventional heating.
