"Sakura Winter Bloom" – A touch of lightness in the glass

For anyone who wants to treat themselves to a moment of lightness in the middle of winter: even when the air outside is cold and clear, this cocktail brings a delicate hint of cherry blossom to the winter season. "Sakura Winter Bloom" combines the depth of aged rum with the elegant freshness of rosé vermouth and the delicate, almost poetic floral notes of Dover Sakura liqueur. A drink that warms you up and at the same time lets you dream of warmer days.

Exclusively with us: Akazake - a rarity with 1,200 years of history

Akazake ist eine absolute Rarität aus Kumamoto. Denn nur zwei Sake-Brauereien stellen heutzutage noch Akazake her – und eine davon ist unser Produzent Zuiyo, der mit dem Tohi Aka-shu Akazake etwas besonders Köstliches herstellt! Akazake ist eine alte Sake-Sorte mit einer charakteristischen rotbraunen Farbe und einer über 1.200 Jahre alten Geschichte. Obwohl das Herstellungsverfahren dem von „normalem“ Sake ähnelt, ist Akazake einzigartig, da während des Herstellungsprozesses Holzasche hinzugefügt wird.

Happy Owl - whisky and shochu in the finest combination

Kofukuro Shochu is an extremely aromatic shochu made from roasted barley, which unfolds its beautiful notes of cocoa and coffee particularly well in the cocktail. In combination with whisky and paku-chii coriander, it reveals fruity and spicy nuances with depth.

Back in stock: Many popular products back in stock

Our new delivery has arrived and many popular products are back in stock. For example, the Kaga Umeshu in the large 720ml bottle, the Kagamizu Ginger Shochu, the Paku-chii Spirit Coriander, the Mumei Gin, Hassaku Rocks and the Crazy Octopus Shochu. 

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! 

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.
