About this place
The fresh tomato Bloody Mary is a popular choice when you’re not sure what to order. One guest described its tomato sweetness and acidity, with a creamy texture from shaking; the bar’s menu also highlights the use of fresh tomato. Another way to enjoy the menu is to visit as the seasons change, when cocktails featuring fruit in season offer something new to try.
The listed drinks include cocktails that let you choose a spirit to suit the fruit, such as one made with Taiwanese pineapple, and a Japanese red-fleshed melon cocktail with gin or vodka. One guest particularly enjoyed the melon drink, while others reported trying Kyoho grapes, pear and the Bloody Mary—options for anyone who likes to choose by the character of the fruit itself. The menu also features a drink combining fresh lychee and pink grapefruit, and a distinctive mojito made with home-grown mint, rum and lime, served without soda. Both offer alternatives to more familiar fruit cocktails.
There are inventive combinations beyond fruit, too. A cocktail of green pepper, genmaicha and gin is described on the menu as balancing the ingredients’ aromas while keeping bitterness in check. Guests have also mentioned enjoying a miso gin and tonic and a matcha cocktail. If you’re unsure what to order, you could ask for a drink to suit your preferred flavours or mood. The menu can also help you get a sense of prices: a gin and tonic is 1,430 yen, many fresh-fruit cocktails are in the 2,000 yen range, and a drink made with Sato Nishiki cherries from Yamagata is listed at 2,900 yen.
