Mizuwari

This is simply whisky and water, but as with the Japanese tea ceremony, observing the time and care taken over it making and the prolonged anticipation...

It's surprisingly good. Maybe is because my whiskey is strong (45%) but the water softens the flavour without destroying it. You have to take your time preparing it though.

"wari" is pronounced "wah-ri", not "ware-e" :)

I apologize for taking so long to clarify, I only saw the reply today. Under variants, there's one named "Shunbun" which mentions ume shiso. Thank you!

I am guessing based on Simon's results specifying a liquid, its probably referring not to a garnish of ume and shiso[also called perilla], but to a product like Umeshu[plum wine] brand Choya Umeshu Shiso. They also produce a Choya Umeshu Honey, which appears to be the product the "Risshun" refers to.

Sadly I don't know. Hopefully, another reader can help. A search reveals many references to a Hibiki Shunbun "25ml Ume shiso (Japanese mint)". This is a very old page and I don't have related notes as to the original source.

Does "ume shiso" here refer to red shiso, or is that cocktail made with umeboshi and shiso?

Not sure where you are referring to "ume shiso" in the recipe or comments above? Please can give more info on what you're asking.
