The Complete Guide to Japanese Drinks

In nearly every major city in the world you can now find some of the finest examples of Japanese sake, whisky, beer, umeshu plum liqueur, shochu and awamori; occasionally you'll even stumble upon some surprisingly good japanese wine. You're also very likely to find a cocktail bar staffed by talented Japanese bartenders serving cocktails that have been very much influenced by Japan's emergence as one of the finest cocktail cultures in the world.
