Japanese Orchard: Kaki Loves Shochu

Unfortunately, summer is slowly coming to an end, and instead of light, refreshing drinks, it’s time to gradually switch to something a little more aromatic in our glasses. The changing of the seasons can be made wonderfully enjoyable with the right flavors. One fruit that’s perfect for this time of year is the kaki, or persimmon. In Japan, it’s a natural part of fall.  Its sweet, mellow, and almost honey-like flavor makes it a wonderful ingredient for drinks.

Azukihattan: The Manhattan with Far Eastern elegance

With a touch of Japan and the elegance of a classic, this drink invites you to discover it: The Azukihattan, a harmonious fusion of tradition and Far Eastern finesse. The complex Mars Maltage Cosmo Whisky forms the basis. Combined with red vermouth, a dash of Angostura and the extraordinary Dover Azuki liqueur, the result is a cocktail that tastes familiar yet surprisingly new.

Summer in Japan – Between Matsuri, Fireworks, and Balmy Nights

Most travelers to Japan choose spring, with its cherry blossom season, or fall, with its beautifully colored foliage, as the best time to visit. Summer, on the other hand, is still considered an insider’s tip—but completely unfairly so. Because it is precisely during the warm months that Japan reveals its most vibrant, colorful, and authentic side. The streets fill with people, the scent of freshly grilled specialties wafts from every alley, gigantic fireworks light up the sky in the evenings, and celebrations take place in nearly every city. Those who visit Japan in the summer experience the country not just as a travel destination, but as one big celebration.

J-Pop: Music That Moves Japan

In Japan, music is everywhere. Catchy tunes play from store speakers, giant screens show the latest music videos, and even small cafés and convenience stores often play J-Pop. Especially in Tokyo, in neighborhoods like Shibuya or Shinjuku, music seems to be part of the cityscape. While in Europe pop music is often just something you listen to in the background, in Japan it’s a visible and audible part of everyday life. But what exactly is J-Pop?
