A tipsy Homaki about love and other things

// October 8th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // News

Today actress Horikita Maki (21) attended the "2009 Suntory Cocktail Award Competition" as a guest examiner for the final screening of the last 24 bartenders. "It was the first time that I had 24 glasses of alcohol, it really was a precious experience for myself." She commented with a blushed face.

This award competition aims to find the most creative bartenders of Japan. They do this competition every years since 1994 and hope to make cocktails and Western alcohol more popular in Japan. The last 24 bartenders who get the chance to attend the final screening already went through a couple of preliminary rounds. There are 2 different groups for this competition, 12 bartenders try to make the best cocktail based on a particular theme and the 12 others just try to make their best cocktails without any theme.

Just the day before Horikita had her 21st birthday. "My family and I drank a toast to celebrate it." She said. "It’s kinda of sad that I won’t be 20 anymore. I guess I’m becoming an adult for real now." Of course she doesn’t drink 24 different cocktails every day and she isn’t that good with alcohol anyway. "I can’t drink that much, that’s why I only had a sip for each cocktail today. I remember that I’m becoming really happy when I’m drunk and that I start to laugh a lot. It’s embarrassing." She revealed.

Would she like to go to a bar with a boyfriend? "That would be great. I’ve never been to a bar, so someone should take me out to one. A cool and good-looking person would be nice." There you have her girl’s feelings and know how to plan your first date, …in your dreams! There was another interesting comment regarding the love issue reporters tend to be pushy about. They asked her about her opinion about the love rumor of her good friend and colleague at the same agency, Kuroki Meisa. "I saw it on TV! I’ll try not to loose against her!" Go Maki! Get yourself a really nice boyfriend!
