Since early Jan, I have Special Sake Cocktail menu at Maedaya, offering 12 new sake cocktail every week and 6 of them are changed every week.
For me, making a new cocktail is fun thing. Sometimes it’s very simple to turn classic cocktails such as Bloody Mary or Martini into sake cocktail by using my imagination. Also naming sake cocktail is another fun thing. Here I have picked up one of my new sake cocktail called ABAREUMA.
ABAREUMA is a sake based cocktail mixed with vodka, ginger beer & lime. If you remember the classic cocktail called Moscow Mule, you might get this idea. Moscow Mule is vodka based cocktail mixed with Ginger Ale & lime juice meaning “Moscow’s donkey”. Instead of Russian vodka, I add Japanese sake. Instead of ginger ale, I add ginger beer. Now I name this sake cocktail ABAREUMA meaning “Crazy Horse” in Japanese... It might be too simple but once you taste it, it doesn't really matter ! Nice and refreshing in hot summer days and it’s so easy to drink.
Please come and try ABAREUMA Crazy Horse at Maedaya (⌒0⌒)／
Hi, there
As I announced on my last blog, I am invited to The Good Food & Wine Show this Friday to demonstrate my original sake cocktails at Kizakura & Choya Umeshu booth.
I get used to do a performance in front of the audience from my previous career, however, this is officially the first time I would ever try a cocktail demonstration to the public so now I am getting nervous a bit.. of course.
I have over 20 sake cocktails so far but I don’t have many ones using Umeshu. So I tried to a few different things using Umeshu this afternoon to make up a new cocktail for the show. (Well, also it might be a good excuse I can start sipping sake early.)
I tried to make a Umeshu & Lychee based cocktail. I mixed Choya Umeshu and Lychee liquor Soho with some fresh grapefruits and lime juice. It came out with a nice balance of sweetness and sourness. However, the cocktail was still too sweet for me so I made a salted rim to gives some punch into it and sip it.........it worked so well! (Just like a classic salty dog)
Now it’s time to name it…..ummmmm…… sweet and sour….. ummmmm...How about "Bridge Collection" !? The reason is quite simple. The main influence for this cocktail is some cocktails I had at the bar in bridge road last week. It was very nice and i had a very good time there. This is a dedication to them from me.
Come to try Toshi Maeda's making "Bridge Collection" at 3pm this Friday 30 May at Melb Exhibition Center.
