Sushi Tree Roll: Christmas Tree-Shaped Sushi Roll with Krab Meat and Cream Cheese Garnished with Spicy Mayo and Colorful Rice Pearls – $7.50

This was delicious! The tree shape gives it a very Christmassy feel. The cream cheese balances out the sushi, while the boba tastes like soy sauce. They explode in your month. It’s a basic sushi roll, but it’s elevated with the spicy mayo and the presentation is adorable. This one’s a winner.

Toshikoshi Soba: Buckwheat Soba Noodle in Hot Dashi Fish-Based Soup Topped with Shrimp Tempura and Chopped Green Onion – $8.50

Our resident Japanese reporter had a lot to say about this dish, including the fact that there was too much flour used in the tempura. The noodles also weren’t up to par and were overcooked. Our American reporter didn’t mind the dish, but noted it was nothing special.

NEW Strawberry Bun: Soft Pink Dessert Bao Containing Sweet Strawberry Cream Filling Finished with a Light Coconut Sauce – $7.95

We were skeptical of the bun once we tore it open. We were met with something weird but interesting. Ultimately, it reminded us of strawberry Nesquick or a strawberry Kit-Kat. The coconut sauce did not really add anything, but we do feel like this is something that will get the conversation started.

NEW Yuzu Refresher: Yuzu and Passion Fruit Drink with Minute Maid® Premium Lemonade and Popping Green Apple Boba Pearls (Non-Alcoholic) – $7.00

We were disappointed by the lack of a boba straw and we were disappointed by the taste of this drink. It was extremely tart and left a bitter taste.

Sapporo Premium Black Beer (5.0% ABV) – $5.75 for 6 oz., $9.75 for 12 oz.

From Sapporo: “Our first dark beer is bold and flavorful, yet smooth and crisp in the classic Sapporo fashion. Sapporo Premium Black is crafted with roasted dark malts and a refined hop bitterness that is complemented by a sweet, round fullness and distinct coffee and chocolate flavors.”

Japanese Punch: Shōchū, Plum Wine, Cranberry Juice and Lemon Juice – $8.25

This is a very plum wine-forward drink. It has a light lemon flavoring in the background, which helps make it very easy to drink. It tastes more like a refresher, and we would like to get it over ice if the opportunity arose. There’s not a ton of alcohol taste in it, but we would get this again.

Chocolate Nigori Sake – $14.00

A hand holds a tall glass of chocolate drink topped with whipped cream and sprinkles, set against the festive backdrop of people enjoying the park at the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. — Chocolate Nigori Sake – $14.00

This tastes like you combined sake with Hershey’s syrup. While, again, it’s not authentic, at least the flavor is decent. The whipped topping is a nice, sweet touch.
