BAR Shinkai Latest News / November 2018

Thank you for your continued patronage of BAR Shinkai.
It is now November and the cold weather is getting colder, but it will be a good time to stay in good physical condition from now until the end of the year.

Let’s get through November first by maintaining a healthy body by eating good food, getting good nutrition, and relieving stress properly with moderate alcohol consumption!

We hope you will enjoy our bar this month as much as we do.

１．This Month’s Sake「Komagatake Limited Edition 2018」＆「Laphroaig 10」

This month, we will introduce two types of whiskies.

The first bottle is a limited edition “Komagatake Limited Edition 2018” from the Mars Shinshu Distillery of the Honbo Brewery.

Limited to 10,000 bottles shipped, the original wine is carefully selected from bourbon and American white oak barrels that have been aged well for at least three years.
The aromas of ripe plums and flowers are harmonious, and on the palate, citrus notes spread to a long, pleasant aftertaste.
This 2018 Limited Edition single malt is the predecessor to the future Shinshu Distillery’s standard product, Single malt Komagatake.

[Single 2,800 yen / Half  1,400 yen]

The second one is “Laphroaig 10”.This whiskey has an iodine-like aroma reminiscent of chemicals and a rich, slightly salty taste.For this reason, it has been called “you will either love it or hate it,” “the king of Islay malts,” etc. In 1994, it became the first single malt whisky to receive a royal warrant.

The island of Islay, where Laphroaig is manufactured, is a small island about the size of Awaji Island in the southwest of Scotland.This whiskey has a unique and intense flavor that stands out even among the unique Islay whiskies.Therefore, the taste can be described by words such as “pharmaceutical (Seirogan?)”, “smoky”, “smoky”, and so on. or a smoky aroma.The flavor can be described in a variety of ways depending on the customer.
Recommended drinking styles are straight, on the rocks, and highball.We hope you will try it.

２．Seasonal Fruit Cocktails 「Steuben (grapes)」

The weather has turned to autumn and it feels a little chilly today.
I thought it might be time to introduce hot cocktails using fruits, but I have come across a fruit that I personally highly recommend.

While grape varieties such as Kyoho grapes and Pione grapes were available from September to October, small grapes from Aomori called “Steuben,” with even higher sugar content, began to appear in late October.

Steuben has a sugar content of more than 20 degrees Celsius, and has almost no acidity, giving it an intense honey-like sweetness.The small size of the grapes and the seeds in the grapes make them a little troublesome to make into cocktails, but it is impossible not to make cocktails with such delicious and sweet grapes.

In terms of nutritional value, it is rich in organic acids and vitamin B1, which also improves immunity and relieves fatigue. In addition, grape skins are rich in “anthocyanins,” which are effective in removing eyestrain and active oxygen.

Other seasonal fruits in November are persimmons, pears, and grapes.
At our bar, we use simple drinks such as rum, vodka, and in some cases gin, which do not spoil the taste and aroma of the fruit.

In addition to seasonal fruits, year-round fruits such as “kiwi, pineapple, banana, orange, and grapefruit” are also available.

３．Japanese Claft Gin 「ROKU GIN」

Domestic craft GIN is highly recommended in our bar.This month, we would like to introduce “ROKU GIN” launched by Suntory in 2017.

Six botanicals unique to Japan: cherry blossoms, cherry leaves, sencha, gyokuro, sansho, and yuzu, from which the name of the product is derived, are harvested in their respective seasons and distilled using a process that matches the characteristics of the ingredients.This gin brings out the aroma of cherry blossoms, fresh yuzu and tea flavors, and the spiciness of sansho (Japanese pepper) in the aftertaste.

The eight botanicals of traditional gin are also used and blended in a well-balanced manner with the delicate skills of the Japanese to create a multi-layered, subtle and smooth taste.

We recommend drinking it with tonic or soda, or on the rocks or straight. Please try it when you visit us.

４．Gems of the BAR 「Zaru soba noodles with walnut sauce」

BAR Shinkai offers a wide variety of dishes for your first visit.Among about 40 dishes, including appetizers, salads, meat dishes, pizza, soba noodles, etc., we would like to introduce one dish that we highly recommend.

『Zaru soba noodles with walnut sauce / 1,400 yen』

Our overwhelmingly popular signature food menu item is “spice curry,” but in fact, we are also very particular about our soba noodles!
Zaru soba noodles with walnut sauce” are served with thick, creamy, sweet sauce made from walnut paste and thicker 80% soba noodles from Shintoku town in Hokkaido, a famous buckwheat flour producing area.

Sake, beer, or highballs are perfect with this dish.
Cocktails and whiskey are also good after dinner to refresh your palate!
