Shibuya

2 oz Awamori, Yaesen taruchozo (43% ABV Awamori)
1 oz Mirin Liqueur, Kankyu Shuzo (Kankyu Shuzo hon mirin mukashi ikomi)
2 ds Bitters, Japanese bitters umami (Umami bitters)
Instructions

Combine, stir 30 sec, pour slowly.

Notes

An umami A-bomb! A very Japanese Manhattan (thus the name) subbing bourbon with Awamori, vermouth with a mirin liqueur and Angostura with Umami bitters. Very balanced, surprisingly mellow & harmonious.

History

I apologize for the rarity of the ingredients. I just chanced upon them, came up with the idea and was thoroughly wowed, so had to offer this up for anyone who may have access to these ingredients. You HAVE to use a high ABV awamori here. Angostura bitters are a good substitute for the umami bitters BUT, if you're making this and have the other ingredients, then probably you won't need this sub. enjoy!
