A must visit. Easily the best bar we’ve been to in Japan. The speakeasy can be hard to find, but once you do you’re in for a treat! The owner/bartender is so friendly and knowledgeable. No menu. He makes each drink based on what you prefer or are interested in. Very foreigner friendly.

The location is kind of secret (a small light about the door at dusk may help guide you there) but discovering the venue is worth the investigating!

Easily the best bar I’ve visited in 2023 and likely to be one of the highlights of my trip to Japan.

The venue embodies zen; the staff are so friendly and dedicated to their craft; and the whole experience leaves you wishing you could go there every day.

Bravo! This was definitely a highlight of our trip. The secret location, the mind-blowing bar and collection of spirits, and of course the superior skills, creativity and attention to detail of master Tanaka and his staff turned this into a unique experience. I am not a bar fan. But I am a Bar Savant fan! Merci beaucoup.

No menu at this place, but no problem. The bartender will take care of you. The master is very knowledgeable about Japanese whiskies, and is an expert bartender capable of coming up with cocktails on the fly. Loved everything he made. Thank you very much!

Fabulous. Really do not think coming into a bar. Thought I was breaking into someone’s house ! Locals showed me the door! Staff really friendly and mixed great old fashioned. Japanese wine good and have fabulous range of whisky. Ok it’s not cheap but nothing is cheap about this place.
