Went to a place called Bushido tonight, it does for Japan what Trader Vic does for Polynesia. All in all a great place. Had three drinks-

Mai Tai- Claims to follow Trader Vic's original recipe and lists all the proper ingredients. Has more bite to it than Trader Vic's Mai Tai so I'm assuming the proportions are different.

Singapore Sling- The Long Bar (where it's from) has the best period, followed closely by (not joking) an Irish sports pub in Singapore's Changi Airport. This one came close to the Long Bar flavor but used too much soda water, ruining the flavor.

Maori- One of the place's own cocktails. It has many, almost all are Japanese themed. This was a great sweet and smooth drink that tasted wonderful. Light and dark rums, cherry and pomegranate liqueurs, coco lopez, soy milk and passion fruit juice. Came in a mug shaped like a bamboo stock.

What I didn't get to drink-
Shot of J. Bally rum from 1929 that cost $437.25.
