TIKI culture is spreading all over the world!

TIKI bars, which originated in California in the 1930s and 1940s after the repeal of Prohibition in the U.S., are now said to number about 170 around the world.

While most of them are located in the mainland U.S., TIKI bars are scattered all over the world, including Canada, Australia, Scandinavia, Israel, and Asia.

As far as I know, there are about four TIKI bars in Japan, including THE KAZAN ROOM. There are two in Korea, two in Hong Kong, and maybe one in Taiwan and one in Thailand (Bangkok). ......

TIKI fans are a bunch of maniacs, myself included (laughs). TIKI fans are a bunch of maniacs, myself included (laughs). (Laughs) So they all go on the Internet and visit TIKI bars all over the world. Kim and I have been to over 50 TIKI bars so far," Brandon said.

TIKI fans buy original glasses, mugs, and bar tools for their collections at each bar.

That is why THE KAZAN ROOM has been selling original goods since its opening, ordering them from an Australian designer.

(They even sell the menu!)
