Minato City, Tokyo, Japan｜城. -旧 bar cafca.-

Beautiful, quiet bar, very dark and moody. Bar staff a shade more fashionably dressed than the usual Tokyo formal style. No menu, but recommendations for me were absolutely on point, a Queen Elizabeth flavoured ever so slightly with absinthe, and a white lady with the addition of a complex array of bitters. 1000 cover, 1500-2000 per drink.

A beautiful experience! I am a tourist from Jakarta Indonesia where bar plays loud music, people chatter loudly. This bar, is a whole different level. I might say, it's an acquired taste. You fall in love to the bar after you are inside. The entrance stairs are VERY dark. Too dark at the point I thought the bar is closed. When you open the door, it's dark too. No music, AT ALL. Again, I thought the bar is close, but apparently that's the selling point. It's a dark, silent place where you chat in whisper and allowed to enjoy very good drinks. I'm sceptical at first, feeling awkward too, but then greeted by a very polite, well dressed bartender offering you drinks. "No menu, just whisky or basic cocktails..", he said. Me and a friend ordered cosmopolitan and vodka tonic, dare I say even the basic vodka tonic tastes delicious! It's not for everyone. Not everyone can appreciate this kind of bar too, but if you would like to find good drinks, I believe you will find it here. Just don't talk too loud and you can't take pictures inside. It's too dark. Oh, and smoking is allowed inside.

The most artistically created drinks I've ever had. The bartender (and owner) makes drinks with such passion and precision, we couldn't look away. Be sure to get a seat at the bar. Even for whisky on ice, a drink I didn't think could be that creative, he HAND CARVED A BALL OF ICE.
