The Way of the Cocktail: Japanese Traditions, Techniques, and Recipes

Bought this for my husband as a gift. We are going to Japan in a couple of months and it’s great information on drinks and the preparation. He loves it!

Such a great cocktail book with very unique drinks.

Included in a raffle at work and we were all jealous of the winner. Beautiful photography, and inspiring, attainable cocktails. Japanese mixology should be your next level challenge!

Julia’s book is my favorite of 2021. I hope it will join the library of modern cocktail literary classics, as its explanation of the philosophy and ritual behind the world’s most thoughtful cocktail culture provides unique insight. Her personal experiences are the lens through which we can begin to understand what makes the Japanese school original, and her personal recipes, organized by season, allow not only a deeper understanding of Japanese cocktail culture, but of Japanese culture itself.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been sucked into a cocktail book from front to back. Right up there with Death & Co and Smuggler’s Cove. Love it. Inspired unique recipes (in spectacular glassware), interesting learnings/perspective, considered attention to detail, and beautiful photography.

Bought it as a gift. Beautiful and great recipes. It was a big hit!

This is an incredible cocktail book. Truly a work of art as are the cocktails. Some of the ingredients are going to be hard to find but looking forward to the journey.

Similar to Dead Rabbit, this cocktail book is extremely inaccessible even for a home bar with 100+ spirits.
