A drink only a chef could conceive.
Hirezake is a traditional Japanese drink made with grilled fugu fins and hot sake. However, Chef Hashimoto took a bold step by presenting a unique twist to Koshimizu: Whisky Hirezake—made with whisky and grilled fugu fins.
As someone who usually enjoys whisky with hot water, Koshimizu was surprised by the harmonious fusion of whisky and the aroma of the fugu fin.
The toasty, smoky flavor often found in whisky is enhanced by the char-grilled fins, creating a surprisingly well-matched combination.
