high quality Daiginjo sake from Otokoyama is complimented with vodka and cucumber, then shaken and strained into a martini glass with a wash of vermouth and garnished with a cucumber slice to create what has been documented as the first Japanese cocktail

Junmai Ginjo sake is mixed with a blackberry liquer and a zest of lemon with champagne bubbles to the top to create a tall, fruit-infused sake favorite that is both complex and fun. Served on the rocks in a collins glass

An elegant touch of shochu, yuzu, and grapefruit are balanced and then topped with ice and tonic water. A top layer of bitters are added to flow from the top layer of the drink with a lemon twist to most effectively tell the story of the Yamanashi region, a place well known for its fruits and natural beauty

The synonymous alcohol of Okinawa (Awamori Shochu) is transformed through a pour of pineapple and lime juice, then served with a garnish of cilantro to sharpen the flavors and create a special explosion of profiles that most beneficially redefine the Thai Rice alcohol

From the Mars distillery and Hombo brewery, we mix our Iwai black label with a touch of pomegranate and lemon to compliment and bring out the best flavors of this Bourbon-influenced Japanese whiskey in the traditional Manhattan style. Served up with an orange zest and cherry garnish

This "controversial" Japanese whiskey is perfect for a spin on what some consider The classical cocktail; the malted grain whiskey is treated with a sugar cube and aromatic bitters, stirred, and served with an orange twist and cherry garnish

The Julep style is hard to mistake - but the details make all the difference in this variation. A Hakushu whiskey is mixed with pressed mint, shiso, and yuzu to add the familiar tartness of lime while presenting a refreshing new flavor to the classic

One of Suntory's premiere whiskeys is combined in one of Japan's most popular styles - the highball. Very simple, very straightforward, and a perfect compliment to any meal. Yamazaki whiskey is paired with bubbles and a lemon wheel, served on the rocks in - you guessed it - a highball glass
