January has come and gone in the blink of an eye since the beginning of 2019, and now we are entering February.
Yesterday, the daytime temperature was a balmy 19°C (66°F) and it was a warm spring day, but the cold weather is expected to return starting today.
I can’t wait for spring!
The cold weather is likely to continue, but BAR Shinkai is waiting for your visit with dishes and drinks that will warm your heart and body.
So, this month, we will continue to provide you with some information, including the latest news.
１．This Month’s Sake 「Fuji Sanroku」＆
「Porfidio」
This month we will again introduce Bar Shinkai’s recommended drinks.
The first bottle is Fuji Sanroku, a representative whisky of Japan that is popular not only in Japan but also overseas. The distillery is located in Gotemba City, Shizuoka Prefecture, where there is abundant foreshadowing water from Fuji and the average annual temperature is 13 degrees, making it the perfect place for whisky making.
Fuji Gotemba Distillery, which started production in 1973, is now in its 46th year. The distillery was established by three companies from England, the U.S., and Japan with the concept of creating a whisky that is not bound by conventional wisdom and that suits the Japanese taste buds.
At Bar Shinkai, we have Fuji Sanroku 18year old, Signature Blend, and Tarujyuku Genshu 50°.
How about comparing the three types of drinks?

[Fuji Sanroku 18 Years 8,600 yen]
[Signature Blend 1,400 yen]
[Fuji Sanroku Tarunama Genshu 50° 800 yen]
The second bottle is Porfidio, known as the “cactus bottle.
It is famous as a distinctive and high-end tequila, and is often sold outside of tequila specialty stores, making it a representative Mexican tequila that you may have seen or drunk at least once.
Bar Shinkai’s Porfidio is a single-barrel tequila (bottled from a single barrel, usually a blend of several barrels) that has been aged for seven years in new American oak barrels and is classified as the highest grade of extra anejo.
Porfidio’s elegant, richly sweet, complex, and deep flavor has made it a favorite of well-known stars such as Robert De Niro.
Please try it when you visit us.
[Single 2,400 yen][30ml 1,600 yen][15ml 800 yen]
２．Seasonal Fruit Cocktails「Strawberry」「Kumquat」「Steuben」
This month’s fruit cocktails are the “steuben”, “kumquat”, and “Strawberry”, all of which were introduced in the December and January newsletters.
We hope you will enjoy each of the three cocktails, which have different tastes.
「steuben」…Small grapes with a rich sweetness. The sweetness of the grapes is not lost when combined with rum or vodka in a simple cocktail.
「kumquat」…A perfect little citrusy with the perfect amount of bitterness, sweetness and tartness. Roughly mashed kumquat, gin base, kumquat gin and tonic.
「Strawberry」…Melting sweetness and rich aroma. The sweetness and fragrance of this wine are best enjoyed simply with rum or vodka.
This is the definitive selection of our winter fruits. We hope you will enjoy it.
[Fresh Fruit Cocktail 1,500 yen]
３．Japanese Claft Gin「Masahiro OKINAWA GIN」
Domestic craft GIN is highly recommended in our bar.This month we will introduce Masahiro OKINAWA GIN manufactured in Okinawa.
This GIN is made by Masahiro Shuzo, a long-established distillery in Okinawa that has been making Ryukyu Awamori, a traditional Okinawan distilled spirit, for over 130 years. Awamori is used as the base, and Okinawan botanicals such as seekwarser, bitter melon and guava are used.
We recommend drinking it with soda or tonic and a squeeze of lime.
We hope you will try it.
