Fruity, sparkling, fresh, and colorful: the Japanese version of summer punch

If you immediately think of white wine, strawberries, and summer parties when you hear the word “punch,” you’re not alone. But have you ever tried a punch made with Japanese sake? While it’s still a real hidden gem here, it’s been a favorite in Japan for a long time. Sake has everything a good summer punch needs: delicate fruit flavors, elegant freshness, and—depending on the variety—a pleasant lightness or a subtle effervescence. Combined with fresh fruit, it creates drinks that taste surprisingly sophisticated yet are wonderfully uncomplicated.

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? 

The Magic of Japan's Depachika: Luxury in the Basement

A visit to a Japanese luxury department store is about much more than just shopping. A visit to a Japanese “depāto”—as department stores are called in Japan—feels more like a carefully choreographed experience. The air is filled with the scents of tempura, karaage, dumplings, freshly baked Osaka cheesecake, yuzu, strawberries, spices, and the finest butter from France. Sales clerks bow in unison, escalators glide silently through perfectly lit floors, and somewhere in the background, classical music plays softly.
