Not as well known outside Japan as its more outgoing cousin Sake, Shch is a distilled spirit. Its stronger than sake but not quite as serious as whiskey. Every Shch is quite unique, infused with ingredients which vary from region to region. Wehave a selection of different varieties, from sweet potato to the rich sesame style.

Classic cocktails reinterpreted by someone with access to a lot of excellent infused Shch. And a couple of new ones we made up last night. Try them all.
1841 This used to be Fort Britomart, and 1841 was the year theredcoats got out of their tents and into the first proper building . . . We think theyd have liked this mix. Raisin infused shochu with fresh lime, ginger beer, Angostura bitters and an Appletons 12yo float Japanese Gimlet Our sly wink at an all-time classic. Say no more. Three citrus infused shochu, simple syrup and lemon zest Earl Grey Martini A modern classic, first mixed at the Pegu club in SoHo, reinterpreted for right here, right now. Japanese shochu infused with earl grey tea and juniper berries together with sugar and fresh lemon juice Woo hoo One of our own, and dedicated to loud Japanese rock music. Chargrilled pineapple shochu, tequila and fresh lime. Homemade falernum and a beer topper The Tessen The Tessen is the most elegant of the samurai weapons, and thats reflected in the taste of this cocktail. Elegance with an edge. New Zealands own Mana shochu, Japanese plum wine topped with bubbles Kappa Our salute to the famous Japanese monster of the same name, who has a strong monster-love for cucumbers. Go figure. Shochu and cucumber juice delicately mixed with gin, mint and sugar Baku Another Japanese monster, Baku feeds on nightmares. Acouple of these and youll sleep right through them. Japanese whisky, lime juice, sugar & mint pulled together with egg white FuKuKo cup no 1 A summer classic, made our way. Pimms shochu with a mixture of sprite and gingerale. Finished with a cucumber and orange garnish 12

The Japanese are huge whisky fans, have been since the 30s. Cant get enough of it. There are twomain types; old style which is a nod to Scotland and new style which is a more balanced, flavourful sip. Ask us which is which.
