Japanese Martini – clear, pure, and minimalist
April 22, 2026
Few cocktails embody timeless elegance quite like the Martini. The Ao-Oni Dry brings a new aromatic depth to this classic of the cocktail art, inspired by Japanese craftsmanship. Made with mirin and sake as its base, it is distinguished by the use of various herbs and spices. The main component is wormwood, joined by other botanicals such as lemon, mugwort, henna bush, apple, ginger, hyssop, and cinnamon. The Ao-Oni Dry is fresh and complex. Its refined herbal aroma and balanced bitterness make it the perfect ingredient for a Dry Martini. The JIN 7 Series 00, which also features herbal notes and aromas of black tea, offers a special harmony and intense complexity.
