Japan's rich history of spirits is experiencing a renaissance as people the world over become increasingly infatuated with beverages made from sak, shochu, and Japanese whisky. In Japanese Cocktails, cocktail expert Yuri Kato collects more than 60 recipes for cocktail classics (such as the Hinomaru, the Yuzu Bath, and the Echo Julep) as well as original creations that infuse such non-Japanese spirits as vodka, rum, and tequila. Including the history of Japan's distinctive spirits, tips on finding key ingredients, and sidebars that cover topics ranging from cherry blossom season to Tokyo's fashion district, this handy guide offers readers a unique glimpse into contemporary Japanese culture, perfect for perusing while enjoying a delicious drink!

Well, I just received Japanese Cocktails, by Yuri Kato and it is a great addition to my cocktail book library. There are authentic Japanese cocktail recipes, with some originals mixed in. What I didn' expect was to learn about the history of Japanese cocktails and get a feel for various regions of Japan.
It is a beautiful book that will look great by your bar or coffee table. Vibrant pictures acompany each recipe. You are also given tips on where to find the traditional ingredients.
I can't wait to start making some of these...
Cheers!!

I got this book for my little brother and he thinks it's great. There are easy to use instructions, a good variety of drinks, handy little tidbits about Japanese culture and really nice pictures. All in all, a good purchase.

While the pictures are great, the recipes I find to be a little uninspiring and even oversimplified. I was hoping to find some intricacies and unique uses of Japanese and Japanese-styled ingredients, but that is not what the book is about.
