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 3: Soran Nomura - ABV+, Tokyo --
Nomura-san particularly enjoyed the savory layers of Ayuuk. “It has a smoky, umami, dashi-like flavor that reminds me of Iburi-gakko (smoked pickled daikon)”.
In this cocktail, Nomura-san drew inspiration from the deep dark red color of the Pasilla Mixe chili. He wanted to “ explore the theory according to which ingredients of the same color work well together”. To do so, he opted for cassis, plum liqueur and Sun Rouge hibiscus and rosehip tea. A dash of absinthe finishes the cocktail and matches the strong aromas of Ayuuk.

Soran Nomura worked in several bars in London and Tokyo before starting his drink consulting company ABV+. He recently opened tea & library bar 青淵-Ao- and set up to promote the use of teas and Chinese medicine techniques into cocktails.
