Welcome to the Dojo Speakeasy!

Welcome to the Dojo Speakeasy!!

This is a side project of the blog, Dining Dojo.  However, this blog is more focused on bringing you crafted cocktails.

Why cocktails?  There are numerous blogs and websites that discuss these drinks already.  I have been interested in learning the art of the cocktail for a while now.

Before I get head of myself, here is a little background about myself.  My name is Andrew.  I am living in Nagoya, Japan for about 10 years now.  I am originally from the United States.  I had an interest in food and drink ever since I was a child.  Also, I am somewhat of a history buff.

In the recent years, there has been a cocktail boom in America that is showing respect to the classic cocktails that were popular before and during Prohibition in America.   I am interested in the history of these drinks.   Also, I am curious about the ingredients that are made in the cocktails.  With this knowledge, I am also trying to create my own creations.

Recently, I have been infusing many different ingredients to come up with new flavor combinations.  I love the freedom that you have when it comes to creating new libations.  Also, I am trying to pay respect to the classics by giving them a little twist.  I believe that to think about the future, to live in the present, we must be aware of the past.  We must learn from the past.

The Dojo Speakeasy will provide you in depth look into the cocktails that we enjoy.  Also, I will provide recipes for my own creations. 

Cheers!
