Ever since A-Plus opened in 2007 it strives to stay one step ahead of the trends. In recent years many Japanese restaurants in the U.S. began using shochu in their cooking; now you can enjoy similar cuisine as well. “Grilled Lamb Chops On Stone”﹙NT$320﹚is served on a hot platter with a layer of sliced potatoes and a small amount of Italian marinara sauce. Pour some shochu onto the dish, light up and eat it as soon as the flame is out. You have to eat it right away because lamb chops are most tender while hot. Right about now you can order a glass of Shochu-Jito﹙NT$180﹚. The idea comes from Spanish mojito. Instead of mint leaves this drink is made with Japanese Perilla frutesce, giving it an aroma that’s only found in Asia.
The main customer demographics at A-Plus is mostly women. Therefore the menu and the drink list cater to the liking of today’s women and their taste becomes the first priority. “Sliced Japanese Octopus Topped With Vinegar Jelly”﹙NT$180﹚is a very refreshing appetizer. Sliced octopus is laid out on a bed of thinly sliced cucumbers and covered in vinegar jelly which is a secret recipe. Most women love strawberry and Shochu-Rita is the No.1 selling cocktail at A-Plus. The white foam on top is not whipped cream but in-house special - Japanese plum foams. And the best thing about it is that unlike whipped cream it is nonfat! Now don’t you wish the bartender had filled your margarita glass with even more of it?
自2007年開幕以來，花酒藏總是走在時代的尖端。近年來美國的日本料理店流行以燒酌入菜，如今在花酒藏也品嚐的到。燄燒石鍋羊﹙320元﹚一上桌，倒入少量的燒酌之後立即點火燃燒，務必要馬上吃，羊肉才會香嫩，配上義大利蕃茄紅醬和一層已切片的馬鈴薯，口感相當特別。這時點一杯綠色津波﹙180元﹚，創意來自西班牙的Mojito，但加入燒酌，並以紫蘇取代薄荷葉，讓這杯綠色的美酒散發著東方的香氣！
花酒藏的消費族群向來以女性居多，因此在設計菜單和酒單時，都以現代女性需求為第一考量。醋凍日本章魚﹙180元﹚是將日本進口的章魚切片鋪在薄薄一層小黃瓜上，再覆蓋獨家配方的醋果凍，非常清爽的開胃菜。鮮少有女性不愛草莓的，調酒瑪格草莓在花酒藏更是所向無敵，上面一層層白色泡沫並不是鮮奶油，而且只在花酒藏才有的青梅鹽泡，甜甜酸酸，零卡路里，恨不得擠得整杯滿滿的都是。
