Kuromaru (CLOSED)

Western-Japanese restaurant, Maison Meiji, has joined forces with Wan Chai's Japanese whisky bar Mizunara: The Library to bring vinyl and cosy shochu cocktail lounge called Kuromaru. Kuromaru's cocktail menu shines a spotlight on shochu and awamori. You'll find shochu brands like Daiyame 40 (shochu made from sweet potato) and cask-matured The Hachi Shochu, as well as bottles from other craft distilleries in Japan. Expect refreshing highballs and signature cocktails like Awamori based Nostalgia ($120), Espresso Orange Martini ($120) made with barrel aged Shochu, and the earthy Mont Blanc Alexander ($120) made with Yaki Imo Shochu.
