Description
A bar that opened in 1880 and has been in the same spot by the Kaminarimon crossing ever since. It is known for Denki Bran, a cocktail created here in 1882 with brandy as its base, blended with gin, wine, curaçao and herbs. It is 30 degrees; the Old version is 40.
The ground floor is the bar itself, where you buy a ticket at the door and then sit down. The first floor is Restaurant Kamiya, a western-style restaurant suited to families and groups, and the second is a Japanese restaurant. The main building was registered as a tangible cultural property in 2011.
