01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

When ordering a cocktail, you can share your preferences, such as how sweet or strong you like your drink, and enjoy deciding on a glass with the bartender. Some visitors have singled out the customised cocktails, made after asking what they enjoy. The menu also lists dry martinis and original cocktails, offering options beyond whisky.

The whisky selection includes Islay names such as Ardbeg and Lagavulin, as well as Akashi White Oak Japanese whisky. You can choose a particular bottle, or take a visitor’s lead and ask for advice; one guest mentioned drawing on the staff’s whisky knowledge when making a choice.

Visitors have also mentioned watching ice being cut to fit each glass and trying cocktails made with seasonal fruit. BAR52, in Kannondōchō, has a quiet atmosphere suited to a leisurely drink. Chocolate and nuts have been noted as food options—light bites to enjoy alongside a drink.
