You'll find recipes laid out by seasonality of ingredients (and the most suitable moods and seasons in which to serve them), tools and techniques of the trade, and a plethora of diverse alcohol bases from which to build these drinks. There's also ample non-alcoholic ideas in this book as well, from Chrysanthemum tea lattes to mugicha tonics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're excited to see so many recipes featuring sake and shochu prominently with such reverence to the diverse character and and intricacies unique in these special drinks, so often relegated to the ranks of a cheap vodka or neutral spirit.
