The Kohide Cocktail
This was a spur of the moment thing. I was drinking with members of a local parents group at a snack called "Fuji". I noticed that Fuji, like many the other "snack" in Kashimo, only served beer, whisky, shochu, tea and juices. They have some fruit drinks but no cocktails. I decided to create a drink similar to the Bloody Mary using only what was available in front of me. Kashimo tomato juice is naturally sweet and can only be consumed in small portions. So I wondered how can I take this and change it into something with a little kick. That kick came from Nishi Kata shochu which is also made in Kashimo. The sour touch comes from Yuzu (Japanese Citron). This was created on August 20th at a "snack" called Fuji in Kashimo, a part of Nakatsugawa city. The name refers to Kohide mountain, the highest point in Kashimo. This was a spur of the moment thing. I noticed that Fuji as well as the other "snack" in Kashimo only served beer, whisky, shochu
