Sakura Martini

Kenta Goto, Bar Goto, New York City, 2015.

Sake, Gin, Maraschino ABV 22.2%

One 75ml serving of Sakura Martini contains calories

This drink rewrites the Martini's grammar. Sake takes the place of vermouth as the modifying ingredient, softening the gin with a clean, rice-grain quality that dry vermouth never quite achieves. Maraschino adds a subtle sweetness without pulling the drink in either direction.

The salted cherry blossom is not a decoration. The savoury note it contributes is what earns the drink its name, so we put one in the box with every 250ml. Six weeks of ageing before it is bottled.

Delicate and considered. The kind of drink that takes a second glass before you fully understand it.
