The Book

Kanpai – 50 Japanese Cult Cocktails brings the diversity of Japanese drinking culture directly into your cocktail glass. This excellent book was awarded SILVER at the German Cookbook Award 2025 and combines classic drinks with modern, Japanese-inspired creations.

In 50 recipes, characteristic flavors and high-quality spirits meet well-known classics like the Bamboo, as well as new combinations such as Miso Daiquiri or Sakura Martini. Yuzu, miso, and other typical Japanese flavors give the cocktails their distinctive character.

In addition to the recipes, the book takes you on a journey through the history of Japanese mixology – from the first cocktail bar visit in 1874 to the popular highballs served in izakayas today. Colorful, manga-inspired illustrations also make "Kanpai" a visually special book and a wonderful gift for cocktail enthusiasts and Japan lovers.
