TOMBO Shochu from SakéOne :: Exquisite TOMBO Cocktails

Dragonflies seek out the finest watering holes where their drink is pure and ideally suited to their tastes. They are not shy or timid in their pursuit of a great drink.

Enjoy the simplicity of TOMBO on the rocks and explore how the aromas and flavors open as it slowly dilutes. Add a splash of lemon or lime for added refreshment, or explore the many available options to craft a cocktail that is ideally suited to your tastes.

To honor our friend the Dragonfly, we have asked two of our best friends to craft exquisite cocktails from TOMBO. We gave them free reign so that their spirit could soar with ideas.
