News - Ginza Berlin

Tasting events at Atelier Ginza - our dates until the end of the year!

Book your very special excursion into the world of Japanese spirits and sake. At each tasting, we present various distillates from different regions, from the southern tropical islands to the snowy mountains of northern Japan. You can also book an individual tasting event with us for groups of 6 or more! 

Introduced: Ten Sho Chu by Ooyama Jinchichi Shoten from Ibusuki

The Ten Sho Chu is a very special sweet potato shochu (imo shochu), as the yeast and koji for this shochu were grown in a NASA space shuttle in zero gravity. Incidentally, "Ten Sho Chu" means space shochu and is also an amusing play on words in relation to shochu. This great craft spirit is normally only available in liquor stores in Kagoshima Prefecture. And also from us! 

Yomo-Gin: A fresh, herbal drink with yomogi and gin

Yomogi is an extremely important herb for Japanese cuisine. It is best known here as a spice for daifuki mochi, and it also colors these mochi beautifully green. Yomogi is closely related to wormwood, but less bitter and much milder in taste. As a liqueur, it is extremely fresh and complex and combines with Kabosu liqueur, gin and Angostura to create a herbal, fresh drink with depth.

Cherry Blossom Martini - fruity and complex

Even if it's not cherry blossom season, a cocktail with Sakura liqueur tastes good at any time of year. In this drink, we pair the popular liqueur with the Jin7 Series 02 Sakura Cask. Stored in cherry blossom wood barrels, this also has an intense cherry blossom aroma.

White Peach Negroni - a fruity twist on the original

A Negroni always works, whether on hot or cold days. A little twist with the fruity Kanade White Peach liqueur provides variety in the glass. The notes of Japanese white peach also harmonize particularly well with the bitterness of the Campari.

Lemon Sour with the Niseko Coffee Shochu - a heavenly combination

A lemon sour is the perfect drink for hot days: refreshing, sparkling and low in alcohol. The alcoholic base is always shochu, whereby barley (mugi) or rice (kome) shochu is usually used. The Niseko Coffee Shochu takes the lemon sour to a whole new level. The coffee flavour harmonizes particularly well with the taste of fresh lemon.

Asparagus season at last! Sake and asparagus - a delicious combination

For asparagus fans, these are weeks of bliss: it's finally asparagus season again! Whether white, green or purple - each variety is special and has its own taste. Sake goes particularly well with asparagus. One of sake's strengths is its harmony with butter, cheese and creamy sauces. Sake generally contains little acidity, its umami notes optimally support the delicate aromas of the asparagus and balance out its bitterness. 

New from us: Sake from Zuiyo in Kumamoto

We are delighted to introduce you to our new sake producer Zuiyo from Kumamoto. We discovered his great products on our last trip to Japan and immediately fell in love with them. We hope you feel the same way! Taihachi Yoshimura founded Zuiyo in Kawashiri in 1867 and was one of the pioneers of sake production in Kumamoto. Previously, only the local specialty Akazake was produced here.

So fresh: make your own spicy ginger beer with our shochus

With its 53 approved raw materials, Shochu is extremely versatile. There's never a dull moment in terms of flavor! You can conjure up your own spicy ginger beer with four of our shochus. You will need:
