The Takashi Martini

During a visit this week to Takashi restaurant for their world-class sushi, I enjoyed a remarkably tasty house cocktail called The Takashi Martini. It was a perfect accompaniment to one of music-lover Takashi Gibo’s cleverly-named Mr. Blue Sky roll.

The Takashi Martini – a scrumptious blend of Jack Rabbit Gin, Ransom Dry Vermouth, Génépy des Alpes herbal liqueur, and orange bitters – was also great with Takashi’s fried barracuda. Gibo was featuring fresh barracuda on the menu and, as he sometimes does for me, fried up the skeleton of the fish. I know, it sounds weird. But it’s really good – tastes like crunchy fish chips!
