A crisp and refreshing mix of shochu, cooled sencha, lemon juice, and ginger syrup, garnished with a bright lemon twist. Smooth, lightly spiced, and tea-forward, it’s a minimalist yet flavorful take on a tea-infused martini. A little tradition, a little experimentation—just the way I like it. 

A refreshing balance of black tea, citrusy Italicus, and shochu, finished with a bright hint of lemon. Light, floral, and complex, it’s a delicate fusion of Japanese tea and Italian flair.

If you're looking for a floral cocktail, Sakura Breeze is the perfect choice. This light and refreshing drink highlights the delicate flavor of cherry blossoms (sakura), blended with smooth shochu (or vodka) for a serene sip of spring. Elegant, aromatic, and beautifully balanced—like petals floating in the breeze.

A refreshing twist on the classic Moscow Mule, Sencha Mule blends the bold spice of ginger beer with the subtle, earthy notes of sencha-infused shochu (or sencha-infused vodka). Sencha, a traditional Japanese green tea rich in antioxidants, adds a light yet rich flavor. As the frozen sencha tea cubes melt, each sip deepens, creating a drink that evolves over time—crisp, invigorating, and effortlessly smooth.

A smooth and aromatic infusion, Sencha-Infused Shochu combines the delicate, grassy notes of sencha green tea with the clean, crisp character of shochu. The result is a balanced spirit with subtle vegetal flavors and a refreshing undertone, perfect for sipping or mixing into cocktails with a touch of sophistication.

A delicate balance of earthy green tea, smooth shochu, and rich Japanese whisky, lifted by a touch of banana liqueur and agave. Instead of matcha, I used green tea powder for a flavor closer to freshly brewed sencha, inspired by Kagoshima’s tea culture. This cocktail is a quiet, complex sip with a lingering warmth.

Note: Matcha is made from tencha leaves, finely ground for a smooth texture and rich umami. Green tea powders like Arabikicha come from kabuse sencha, are slightly coarser, roasted for aroma, and mix easily without a whisk.
