Toasted rice chuhai
Fish soups
There's an izakaya in Portland named Biwa that I really love. In addition to really delicious food, it has a great cocktail list. Last time I was at Biwa, I had the genmai chuhai—a shochu "haiball" flavored with toasted rice and vanilla. The toasted rice gave it a slightly unusual, but remarkably pleasant flavor. The cocktail is much like a soda and sweeter than I typically prefer, but the toasty rice flavor really won me over. After several sips I decided I had to try to replicate it.
