Japan has always held a special place at Empirical. We are honoured to celebrate the launch of Empirical in Japan and asked five Master Bartenders to share their thoughts on our core products and showcase their interpretation through unique cocktails.
-- Episode 2: Yusuke Takamiya - Tigrato, Tokyo --
Takamiya-san has often worked with kōji-based spirits but was startled by the unique mouthfeel and aromas of The Plum, I Suppose. He was “truly impressed by its ume-like flavors and refreshing acidity”. He instantly set to work and created a cocktail that would make the best of these nuanced notes, utilizing a fruit-forward coffee from Nicaragua, tied together with Champagne.

Yusuke Takamiya is head bartender and director of Tokyo’s Tigrato, which opened in 2018 with the vision to make quality cocktails more approachable. Beside their beautifully crafted drinks, guests enjoy a range of specialty coffees and a wide selection of homemade gelato.
