Cocktails based on the distinctive Japanese liquors of sake and shochu are cropping up around town quicker than you can say 'kampai!'
Megu, a two-level Japanese fine-dining restaurant that has opened in the Elements development in Tsim Sha Tsui, is among the innovators.
Megu actually hails from New York - this is its first overseas branch - and the cocktail list reflects that.
After all, the Big Apple is where many of the world's most memorable cocktails were invented.
The bar and restaurant, in the shopping mall above Kowloon Station, has a comprehensive champagne and cocktail list identical to the one at the two branches in New York.
Its most popular mix is a signature cocktail that is the venue's namesake: Blessing (megu means 'blessing' in Japanese). The drink is a smooth blend of strawberries, vodka, Triple Sec, antioxidant-packed pomegranate juice and lemon juice.
