Good place for cocktails and whisky. We had some 🇯🇵 private bottlings. Maybe it’s little stressed as you are asked not to touch bottles on the bar. Sorry guys, but i came for your whisky, so I want to taste it and to get all possible info. We had very nice 🇯🇵 style whisky sour. 🙏

Wow. The selection and place is truly phenomenal. Popped in after dinner on my final night in Tokyo and if I didn't have to catch a flight tomorrow I'd spend the next day or two here.

I started by asking for recommendations. The bartender inquired about what types of whisky I enjoy and with a bit of information he went about selecting 4 fantastic bottles for my flight. They were amazing.

We chatted and he was full of insight and information about each selection. After finishing my flight, we talked about what options are special Japan drams and I was offered a coupe really cool bottles. One was available exclusively at the bar and it's ultimately what I went with. Absolutely phenomenal.

As I write this I'm finishing that drink and thinking I need to try one more. This place is so special. From the atmosphere, to the people working here, and the selection of spirits. You have to come check this place out.

Excellent (5/5). Very good whisky selection with many of the well known Japanese whisky brands and several smaller collaborations that were created by the owner. It was quiet when we went, and the bar tender was very happy to talk us through the different options and their tasting notes.etc.

A very nice small bar with friendly bartenders and amazing drinks! We had some cocktails, a selection of various whiskys and some barsnacks on the house. Everything was very delicious! The bartenders explained everything in detail and we had really charming conversations with them. Would definitely recommend and come again :) Yabai!!!

Japan is full of these whisky bars.. and this is a good one in Shinjuku.. especially so if you are not a smoker (because some of similar bars permit cigar smoking).

Ok, i had 4 shots of whisky.. and it came up to be north of 10k yen. Not the cheapest, but a good place to burn an hour or 2.
