The Kaikan Fizz, hailing from Tōkyō Kaikan, is a stately yet nostalgic cocktail that closely resembles the sweet yogurt drink known as Calpis. In a time when dairy was a luxury in Japan, American influence brought rare ingredients such as milk to the bar, making this unique cocktail possible. Combining gin with the brightness of lemon and sweetness of sugar, topped with milk and finished with club soda, the Kaikan Fizz delivers a memorable taste experience.
