Sexual Culture of Japan has often been the center of debates since it is like no where else.



On one end of the spectrum we find disturbing adolescence fetish and subjugation in pornography, Gokkun and Bukkake goes side by side with pixelated genitals as per Japanese Law.


On the other end is the deep patriarchy rooted culture of family and love, a concept that binds one to the spouse with life long responsibility, and a wife is not considered a woman anymore but a part of the family you are responsible for.


This honour bestowed upon a wife comes from the tradition of separating pleasure and desire from family life and thus most married couples stop having sex after bearing children


There are tens of thousands of registered sex shops and sex is Japanese society is always outside the sanctity and honour of the family.


In Japanese culture, the position of a "hostess" or a Geisha is a sought after job for young Japanese women, a Geisha is not a prostitute but is a participating woman who either entertains men with conversation or performing art. The perception of a Geisha in the West is of a prostitute in Kimono, but they are not.


Ok, plenty of serious talk! But the reason behind this is to say, "no, don't expect a reason behind the name of every cocktail", cocktails traditionally being a man's domain, sexual innuendos from borderline offensive to explicitly sexual are common place and we have learnt to take most of it lightly.



This exquisite cocktail was probably named Japanese because it's main liquor is Midori, which is a Japanese Liquor with a decent following in America since the days of Saturday Night Fever, and the cocktail looks exquisite and tastes sweet as love and electric as sex.


Let's raise a toast for the imaginative mixologist.
