I'm an avid drinker of whiskey, so this is the perfect place for me. Ichiro-san exudes all the coolness and suaveness as all professionally trained Japanese bartenders usually do, and makes cocktails the way they should - with loving care and calculation. For first timers, I would recommend sitting at the bar. It might be less comfortable than a lounge chair, but at least you get to see the show. If he isn't too busy, ask him for a demonstration on how he hand-carves each one of his ice-balls. B
But I digress - this place is great for whiskey lovers. The selection is quite complete, ranging from scotch to bourbon, with emphasis put on Japanese whiskey. There are usually specials going on, so make sure you check out whats on offer.
His cocktails are usually strong - worth the price - and what is really great is that for certain drinks that use orange, grapefruit or tomato juice, instead of putting plain old ice, he adds ice made with the respective juice! This way your drink does not dilute over the course of your enjoyment.
As for the snacks, I have only ever tried the Iberico ham. I love Iberico ham, but I have to admit sometimes the cut is a little too thick, and contains too much fat. Another downside towards this bar is the cost. It has a minimum charge of almost 200 dollars, and for whiskey drinkers it becomes much more expensive. Also, service might be a little slow during peak times, since Ichiro-san makes all the drinks himself.
Personally, I really enjoy this bar, so if my review sounds biased please forgive me. But I would definitely recommend this place to any whiskey drinker, or anyone who wonders what an upscale Japanese bar in Tokyo might be like.
