Opinion – Marcelo Katsuki: Warm: from banana-flavoured whiskey to couscous gelato!

by

Whiskey with a natural banana flavor? Because that is the great differential of the Howler Head Whiskey that the Campari Group is bringing to Brazil. The bourbon is aged for two years in American oak barrels and then receives the addition of the natural banana aroma, which gives it a smooth fruit flavor. The 750 ml bottle is being sold for R$ 149.90 in Rio de Janeiro and arrives in the other states of the country from February. For more info, visit @howlerheadbrasil.

The Animus restaurant, by chef Giovanna Grossi, has news on the menu. The grilled octopus accompanied by white bean purée, cucumber spheres infused with mint and seafood emulsion (R$ 58) and the shrimp sandwich sandwich on milk bread, with black garlic mayonnaise and chives stand out (BRL 36). The sandwich is one of the options available on the cart that circulates around the restaurant with ready-to-eat options. This service only happens at dinners and weekend lunches. The restaurant is located at Rua Vupabussu, 347, Pinheiros. More info: @animusrestaurante.
