Hi, I’m Lisa Murahashi, bartender at Bar Ajisai in Kagawa, Japan.
For Giffard West Cup 2026, I created two cocktails inspired by a journey—from sunrise to moonlight.
On my first trip abroad, a quiet moment in a Japanese-style café eased my travel nerves. That memory shaped this concept: a day in Japan through the eyes of a guest from Angers, France.
☀️ Convivialité
A sunrise cocktail inspired by a French café breakfast—raspberry & rhubarb, chicory bitterness, and a light sparkling finish.
recipe:
25ml Giffard Crème de Framboise
25ml Giffard Rhubarb
30ml egg white
6g Instant Chicory Coffee
40ml Soda
Garnish: biscotto
🌙 Le Flan de Kissa
A moonlight cocktail inspired by Japanese kissaten culture—lemon, vanilla, coffee caramel, and the nostalgic pairing of Kagawa lemon pudding and coffee.
recipe:
30ml Giffard Vanille de Madagascar
30ml Giffard Café
10ml Giffard Salted Caramel Syrup
1 Egg yolk
60ml Milk
1g Lemon peel
Garnish: Giffard Menthe-Pastille, Lemon peel
Both drinks are connected by one story: using a whole egg, without waste.
From morning comfort to evening reflection—
a journey in two glasses.
