Description

A basement bar that has been open in Ueno since 2001, two minutes from the station. The room is built around a heavy black marble counter, lit to feel like daylight.

The list runs to beers from ¥1,200, single malts such as Macallan 12 and Talisker 18, and a short food menu of house-made plates.
