If you’re going Japanese, why not bust out some Suntory whiskey? God only knows it’s popular enough in Japan. If you DO go the shochu/soju route, you can also make what’s called a chuhai. I hesitate to call it...

their better half prepares, favorite restaurant items and favorite homemade foods; sweets, main dishes etc........ The company has a very diverse ethnic make-up......it’s a Japanese-owned company

more character and subtlties than vodka and lends itself to sipping and drinking as you would a single malt Scotch or nice bourbon, whiskey, or rye.

, and Ramos Fizzes are also on the menu here. If you want something simpler, just choose a whiskey from the lengthy list of bourbons, scotches, Irish, Canadian, and even Japanese whiskeys - the bartenders will work to find just...

by a Japanese Owner on Second Ave., about 53rd St. It has one of the largest and finest whiskey selections there is and great sushi. It often attracts Japanese business men in town, who seem to not want Americans to be there with...

There’s been a discussion about it on the Manhattan Board. Kobe dogs, kobe burgers, kobe meatloaf...seems like using 25 yr. single malt scotch to make a whiskey sour. A pretension that doesn’t respect and therefore...
