US-Japan Friendship Cocktail Contest Winner Decided!

On June 8, the US Consulate in Fukuoka hosted its second annual US-Japan Friendship Cocktail Contest in which nine finalists representing bars from Osaka to Kagoshima prepared cocktails they conceived to celebrate the unique bilateral friendship between the two nations.

This year’s theme was American Whiskey, and so each cocktail used an American whiskey as its base. And to give it a taste of friendship, the mixologists were encouraged to incorporate local ingredients characteristic of the Kyushu-Yamaguchi region.

Ms. Ayano Yoshimoto (BAR The Castilian Room, Hotel New Otani Hakata) took first prize with her cocktail named “Sparkle Dream”. Served in a glass with a decorative coating her colorful concoction was made with Maker’s Mark whiskey, Aphrodite, Bols Blue, fresh grapefruit, and Mitsuya Cider. “Sparkle Dream” will be featured at upcoming the Consulate’s annual Independence Day reception.
