This collaboration is the culmination of many years of development, these two iconic leaders proudly unveil the UK release of ‘Y by YOSHIKI’, marking a historic moment in the world of luxury beverages. The launch of ‘Y by YOSHIKI’ also coincides with Yoshiki’s Royal Albert Hall headline debut on 13th October, as part of his latest world tour, REQUIEM.
