Bittercube at Chizakaya, Chicago

Posted in Uncategorized on October 26th, 2010 by bittercube

Below is an article prepared by Edible Ink about the cocktail program at Chizakaya, where Bittercube consulted on the cocktail menu.

The Talented Team at Bittercube Create Neoclassic Cocktails

Chizakaya has collaborated with the cocktail consulting team at Bittercube to introduce a new craft cocktail program at the Lakeview izakaya. The Fall-Winter menu takes the American craft cocktail movement and blends it with Japanese techniques and flavor profiles.

The well-versed talents from Bittercube include Milwaukee residents Ira Koplowitz (formerly of The Violet Hour) and Nicholas Kosevich, an award-winning cocktail crafter, along with assistance from Chicago’s own Paul McGee. Bittercube consults on cocktail offerings and also makes an assortment of liqueurs, bitters, tinctures, syrups, sours and tonics.

Chizakaya’s late night, small plate Japanese pub concept has become a dining and drinking destination for those who appreciate handcrafted libations, an extensive sake list and a mix of local craft brews and Japanese favorites. Chizakaya welcomes guests for dinner, creative cocktails and conversation from 5:30pm-12:30am Monday through Saturday.

Thank you to Becky Steimle & David Wise for believing in the libations vision at Wine and Dine this year, and a big thanks to the 7 or so thousand people who attended Wine & Dine Wisconsin this year. This event encompasses so many of the reasons we decided to move to this wonderful city of Milwaukee. Cheers!
