At Broadway Spirits we’re always on the lookout for standout new products — and we believe YOSHI Matcha Liqueur fills a unique space on your bar: part green-tea ritual, part modern cocktail ingredient.
Origins & Brand Story
YOSHI proudly calls itself “the first premium spirit to blend ceremonial-grade matcha with oat milk.”
The name “YOSHI” (Japanese for “good luck”) reflects a mix of tradition and modernity. From the website: “From whisk to bottle… YOSHI brings the flavor and energy of matcha to cocktails.”
In short: It takes the heritage of Japanese matcha — known for its shade-grown leaves, vibrant color, umami richness and ritual preparation — and reimagines it in a spirit context.
What’s Inside & How It Tastes
- ABV: 17% — light enough to mix, still flavorful.
- Flavor profile: Earthy, vegetal matcha with a creamy smoothness thanks to oat-milk blending, subtle sweetness, and a bright green tone that stands out in cocktails.
- With matcha’s roots in Japan and its cultural significance, this liqueur is positioned as more than a novelty — it’s a refined twist on tea culture in bar format.
Cocktail Inspiration
Instead of the typical espresso-martini, here’s a modern alternative using YOSHI:
Matcha Martini
- 2 oz YOSHI Matcha Liqueur
- 1 oz Vodka (or Gin for botanical twist)
- 0.5 oz Simple Syrup (adjust to sweetness preference)
- Shake with ice, strain into a chilled martini glass, garnish with a fine dusting of matcha powder.
Other ideas:
- YOSHI + tonic + lime slice for a bright spritz
- YOSHI + coconut-cream + pineapple juice for a luxurious “matcha colada”
- Neat over ice for a relaxed sipping experience
Why We Stand Behind It
- It occupies a niche: flavored liqueurs are everywhere, but matcha-based spirits are rare.
- It has visual appeal: that vibrant green is a show-stopper behind the bar or cocktail cart.
- It’s versatile: enough personality to stand alone, but smooth enough to mix freely.
- At Broadway Spirits, we’re proud to be one of the first to carry it — giving our customers early access to something fresh and unexpected.
