If there is a legendary cocktail, it is Yukiguni.
Yukigini the legendary cocktail created by bartender Mr. Keiichi Iyama, has won many awards and since then has become a legend in Japan and has permeated into American culture as well.
Yukiguni refers to the poetic Snow Country of Japan, the snow covered Japanese Alps and in general any region covered in deep snow.
Since claiming first prize at the 1958 Kotobukiya (currently Suntory) Cocktail Competition, Keichi Iyama's snow soup that evokes feelings of the high mountain, has become a legend and an industry standard in Japan.
This simple yet surprisingly mesmerising cocktail has all the expertise of Japanese art of simplicity and nuanced taste, and Mr.Iyama was a legend of such proportions that in 2018, director Satoshi Watanabe made a documentary on the life of Mr. Iyama and his creation, that received favourable reviews.
Mr.Iyama passed away on the 10th of March 2021, probably afflicted by the SARS COV2 virus at the age of 95. He was an active professional even beyond his 90s.
