Shugar Market is a plum wine and fruit liqueur tasting bar in Tokyo, where you can sip over 100 different types of drinks for just 3,000 yen (29.85 USD). Adding onto the already vast variety of drinks to choose from, the bar has recently come out with new dessert liqueurs that are deliciously described as drinkable Japanese desserts.

The saccharine Kuraya series offers liqueurs that taste like high quality, traditional Japanese desserts. They don’t actually use Japanese sweets as ingredients to the drinks, but their fragrant flavors and thick, rich textures will put you under the illusion that your tastebuds are enjoying a mouthful of tasty traditional desserts.

Made by historical sake breweries Moritami Shuzo Honke (Miyagi Prefecture) and Meiri Shurui (Ibaraki Prefecture), the Kuraya series guarantees excellent, professionally made liqueur to everyone eager to take a sip.
