Preparations

Miso Shrub20 minutessee method

Place 10 ½ oz. water, 10 ½ oz. white wine vinegar, 10 ½ oz. sugar and 3 ½ oz. white miso paste in a saucepan and warm over high heat, stirring until everything has dissolved. Remove the pan from heat and let the shrub cool before using or storing.

Wasabi Tincture10 minutessee method

Place ¾ oz. freshly grated wasabi, 1 teaspoon wasabi paste, and 7 oz. of 88 percent alcohol spirit in a mason jar and stir to combine. Strain before using or storing. Some of this tincture would be lovely mixed into the soy sauce used on the mackerel sashimi.

  2. Add the Wasabi Tincture and spritz the cocktail with lemon oil.
  3. Use a brush to coat the mackerel sashimi with soy sauce. Garnish with the shiso leaf and serve the sashimi on the side.
