Danny serves the MAMEGRONI
100% Japan - Kanpai at Danny's Japanese Cocktail Bar!
Danny serves today the MAMEGRONI
with the 'drop of Japan': Mame San, the sake flavoured vodka. Intense taste, sweet, earthy, fresh.
How to mix...
Put 50ml Mame San, 10ml freshly cooked Sesame Syrup, 10ml Yuzu Juice (alternatively 15ml Lemon Juice), 30ml Cold Brew Genmaicha Tea (alternatively pour classic warm, but only steep 60sec & cool down) and optionally 2 dashes of Yuzu Bitters in a mixing glass with lots of ice and stir it cold for 30sec.
Then strain everything into an Old Fashioned glass on one large ice cube and finish with an elegant garnish of a seaweed rice chip. Kanpai.
Danny's tip...
The Cold Brew version of Genmaicha tea provides a very subtle, elegant flavour. The flavour profile remains typical and ethereally fresh, with no bitterness, but the fruity nuances come to the fore much more nicely.
And 1 big ice cube in the glass (e.g. 5x5x5cm) offers less surface than several small ones. So you have less dilution in the cocktail and the Mamegroni still stays cold for a long time.
How it tastes...
'The MAMEGRONI promises 100% Japan!
The taste of roasted sesame combines just perfectly with the 3 bean varieties of the Mame San (sword, azuki, soya bean).
The Genmaicha, with its taste of green tea and toasted puffed rice, very happily joins in and deliciously combines the two plants that are most important to Japan: Tea and rice.
The yuzu juice brings the typical Japanese tangy acidity.
And if you nibble on the seaweed rice chip in between, you'll discover even more likeable Japan: because the salt pleasantly tickles your tongue...'
