This premium tour traces the path of the Kumano Navy, heroes of the Genpei War. Cruise the waters they once crossed, then enter the Sandanbeki Caves, their stronghold reserved for you, to enjoy traditional performance and cocktails crafted from local flavors. An unforgettable night awaits.
The three-legged crow of legend, a symbol of guidance and sacred protector of Kumano, takes form in this spiritual cocktail, where every ingredient holds auspicious meaning. Purity shines through gin infused with sakaki leaves, layered with the deep black of Kishu binchōtan charcoal to ward off evil. Peach adds sweetness, jabara citrus brings cleansing brightness, and a whisper of wasabi sharpens the senses. Sparkling bubbles lift the divine spirit skyward. A garnish of black feathers captures the very moment Yatagarasu descends from the heavens.
A Sengoku-era romance in a glass, inspired by the legendary Kumano Navy—fearless seafarers who braved the turbulent waves of war. Their daring spirit, sharp wit, and proud soul are captured here in bold flavors and striking presentation. Kishu whisky infused with bonito carries a smoky ocean breeze and deep umami, enriched by the richness of tomato. The sharp spice of budō-sanshō and a hint of lemon evoke the tension of battle at sea, while umami bitters bring balance and depth. Wrapped in seaweed along the rim like the hull of a warship, and finished with shaved bonito — an emblem of pride, a blessing from the sea.
A prayer for safe passage across distant seas, offered to Benzaiten since ancient times, embodied here as a serene and soulful cocktail. The gentle tartness of plum spirits blends with the clarity of chilled dashi umami, while plum vinegar and salt touch the tongue like a sea breeze. Umami bitters add depth, with garnishes of hirome kelp and plum symbolizing purity and protection. Like breathing calmly on a boat adrift on a still sea, this cocktail offers tranquility and guidance for every journey.
