Genshō 玄祥
The first pour of the night. A long sip that begins as smoke and ends as paper. Served in a 1962 baccarat, on a dark cloth.

Forest, in a glass. Cold, almost grassy. Built for the kind of conversation that does not need to be answered immediately.
A short pause in the night, almost sweet. Best after the third long pour.
The last cocktail, by request. Salt, smoke, and the long quiet after.
グラスは燕三条で削り出した銅と、京焼の盃。夜ごとに替わり、同じ盃で二度は注がない。
Each cocktail arrives in a vessel chosen for it. Hammered copper from Tsubame, raw ceramic from Kyoto, lacquerware from Wajima. None is repeated the same night.
