Cocktail Daily- Dashi Michelada I The SG Club, Tokyo

SG Shochu Kome / Dashi / Tomato / Wasabi / Shirohonoka Beer

Tucked away in Shibuya, Tokyo, the award-winning The SG Club is globally celebrated for seamlessly blending Japanese precision with international bartending cultures. Today’s feature, the "Dashi Michelada," is a brilliant Japanese twist on the Mexican classic. Built on a foundation of SG Shochu Kome—a shochu specifically crafted for mixology—it beautifully integrates the deep, savory notes of traditional Japanese dashi with fresh tomato. Finished with a subtle kick of wasabi and topped with the incredibly creamy Shirohonoka unpasteurized beer, this drink is practically a liquid culinary masterpiece that redefines "Umami."

Tasting Notes

Palate: A full-bodied umami explosion! The savory-tart tomato blends perfectly with the soft, creamy carbonation of Shirohonoka beer, while the rice shochu provides a smooth, grounding base.

Finish: Clean, crisp, and savory, with a lingering mild heat from the wasabi that keeps you coming back for more.

Overall: Like a delicate Japanese appetizer in a glass. Complex, highly savory, and food-friendly—the ultimate culinary cocktail experience.
