From bartender Shige Kabashima, of famed NYC speakeasy Angel’s Share, came ROKC (Ramen, Oysters, Kitchen, Cocktail), a spirited hotspot situated in Harlem. Kabashima is known for his original cocktail recipes, inspired by the scene in Tokyo, where he studied under Japanese cocktail master Kazuo Uyeda. Aside from Kabashima’s knack for excellent flavor pairings, he’s also known for the eccentric and unexpected vessels in which he serves them in. We managed to scoop up a few of Kabashima’s signature recipes, to make at home. Take a look!
