In Japanese culture, bartending is regarded as an art form and much pride is taken in perfecting the craft. Drinks are mixed with precision, and the focus is on clean, well-balanced flavours. As the drinks rely on well considered combinations of ingredients rather than simply upping the alcohol content, they are perfect for anyone who prefers 'quality over quantity' when it comes to their enjoyment. Infused with real fruits, teas and even some savoury Japanese flavours to give just a hint of umami, these easy-to-sip quaffs are a breath of fresh air on the cocktail scene. Try a sublime Nikka Coffey Mizuwari, a zesty Yuzu Collins or a richly fruity Plum Wine Sour. A delicate Melon Shandy is the perfect relaxing tipple or make a pitcher of Mandarin Iced Green Tea to quench your thirst on a hot day. A Sparkling Sake Sgroppino made with black sesame ice cream is a special way to indulge in this fast emerging trend.
