The brainchild of Head Bartender Xun, this cocktail captures the floral bouquet and herbaceous essence of a garden in spring. Dubbed "Niwa," meaning garden, it's a twist on the classic martini. Infused with the savoury and floral notes of ROKU Sakura Bloom, the concoction exudes a delightful aroma and a crisp, herbal taste.
To enhance the aromatic experience, the cocktail is presented in a nosing glass with a wide bottom and narrow top designed to direct aromas up. Served ice cold from the freezer and sprayed with a yuzu hydrosol (herbal distillate) to enhance the cocktail experience. Dashi droplets are added to complement and elevate the gin further.
