I didn't have any of the ingredients except sake so I tried to adapt the recipe by using Hungarian Plum Palinka. I have never had Akashi-Tai but from what I read about it I assumed Maraschino would be a fitting sub.
In the end I went with 1 1/2 oz. Sake, 1/2 oz. Palinka, 1/5 oz. Maraschino and 2 dashes of Kewra Water which yielded a delicious drink.
