Cocktail tasting at Gen Yamamoto
This is unlike any alcohol flight, the experience is closer to a sushi bar with 8 seats and a chef’s menu.
 Slightly tart ume (plum) juice tart and sparkling sake with superfine cucumber dice |
 Tomato with sanshÅ pepper based gin, possibly Roku. |
 Unfiltered sake, edamame and milk |
 Finnish gin, Napue, peach and wasabi |
 Yamamoto whiskey on crushed ice and summer pomelo with a few pieces of unsweetened and candied sweet potato. |
 English Vodka, Black Cow brand made from milk, with green tea |
 Bar Gen Yamamoto, named after the mixologist, is in Azabu-Juban district. He designs the menu to reflect seasonality. Each cocktail has only a few ingredients. |
 Minimalist bar. Apparently, his bar top is made from two massive, thick slabs of 500-year-old mizunara oak, the same species which Suntory uses for the maturation of their whiskies, such as Hibiki and Yamazaki. |
