Washoku is UNESCO heritage: seasonality, umami from dashi, and the 'one soup, three sides' meal structure. Presentation matters as much as taste.

Japanese Whisky
Modelled on Scotch but known for precision, balance and delicate flavours; often aged in Japanese mizunara oak, which adds sandalwood and incense notes.
from Japan
Shochu
Japan's distilled spirit, usually distilled once so it keeps the flavour of its base: earthy sweet potato (imo), nutty barley (mugi), or clean rice (kome).
from Japan · Kyushu
Awamori
Okinawa's spirit, made with Thai indica rice and black koji mould; aged versions (kusu) mellow for years in clay pots.
from Japan · Okinawa
Sake
Japanese rice wine, brewed more like beer: koji mould turns rice starch to sugar while yeast ferments it. The more the rice is polished, the finer the grade (Junmai, Ginjo, Daiginjo).
from Japan · Niigata
Cold Brew
Smooth, low-acid coffee made without heat.
from Japan · Kyoto-style drip
Green Tea (Sencha)
Japan's most-drunk tea; the leaves are steamed to stop oxidation, keeping a fresh, grassy taste.
