From the "Hyakunin Isshu Cocktail " that has been offered at the bar on the 2nd floor of the Lake Biwa Hotel since September, three new products such as "Karakurenai", which is the second popular cocktail, are now available. It will be available for a limited time from January 4th to March 31st, 2018.

Compared to the previous time, which used the motif of three songs related to Shiga Prefecture, this time the theme is a song that expresses "pale love" and four songs that image the four seasons such as cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. The cocktail is finished with a fantastic look and fresh fruits and aromas.

"Chihayafuru Kamidai Mokikazu What is water coming from the Tatsuta River?" (Song number 17 Ariwara no Narihira Ason)


The momentum of the autumn leaves that dye the Tatsuta River red and the hidden love are expressed with colorful fruit decorations. Champagne is used to enhance the taste to match the gorgeous image, and apple and citrus peels, grape jelly, pomegranate, etc. are used to reproduce the appearance of autumn leaves and tie-dyeing of kimono.
