Instructions

Delve into the ethereal beauty of Japan with Sakura Bliss, a signature cocktail that elegantly pairs with the delicate flavors of sashimi. Crafted to accentuate the light, refreshing taste of raw fish with a hint of Japanese tradition, this cocktail is an ode to the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms and the depth of Japanese culinary finesse. **Ingredients:** - 1 oz Sake (choose a Junmai Ginjo for its fragrant and refined flavor) - 1 oz Yuzu liqueur (for a citrusy depth) - 1/2 oz Simple syrup (adjust according to taste) - 1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice (for a bright acidity) - 2 oz Chilled green tea (for a subtle, earthy base) - A splash of Soda water (for a gentle fizz) - Ice cubes - For garnish: A thin slice of cucumber and a cherry blossom petal (if available, otherwise a small edible flower for the aesthetic appeal) **Glass:** Serve in a chilled coupe glass to maintain the elegance and ensure the aromas entice the drinker from the moment it’s served. **Method:** 1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the sake, yuzu liqueur, simple syrup, and lemon juice. Add ice cubes to fill the shaker halfway. 2. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, or until the outside of the shaker feels cold. 3. Strain the mixture into the chilled coupe glass, carefully avoiding any ice shards. 4. Gently pour the chilled green tea over the back of a spoon into the glass to create a layering effect. 5. Top with a splash of soda water for a subtle effervescence. 6. Garnish with a thin slice of cucumber on the rim and float a cherry blossom petal atop the drink (or an edible flower). The Sakura Bliss is a symphony of delicate flavors, balanced between the floral and citrus notes, and the earthiness of green tea—making it the perfect accompaniment to the refined taste of sashimi. Each sip promises an experience as memorable as the sakura season, leaving a lingering taste of Japan’s exquisite culinary culture.
