Hyperlocal Tokyo

My wife and I visited this bar around 10:30 PM on a weekend. There were 10 seats at the counter and two tables for 2-3 people. The counter was quite long. When we arrived, the counter was full, but we were able to move to the counter after placing our order. There were an estimated 300-400 bottles behind the bar. The bar seemed to still be taking COVID-19 precautions. The staff were wearing masks, they asked us to sanitize our hands upon entering, and there were clear dividers between customers. We ordered the following cocktails: * Martini > It was dry and smooth. It was delicious. * Lychee Cocktail > The lychee flavor was delicious and easy to drink. We were told last call was at 11 PM. We had already had quite a bit to drink that night, so we only had one drink each. The total bill for two people was 4,500 yen. Thank you for the delicious drinks.

Shibuya, once known as a youthful district, has recently undergone significant redevelopment, giving it a more mature vibe with an increasing number of adults. I recently visited a stylish, authentic bar perfect for a sophisticated date in Shibuya! ▽---------------------▽ ○Name: Ishi no Hana ○Tabelog Rating: 3.70 (as of March 1, 2024) ○6-minute walk from Shibuya Station ○Budget: ¥7,000 per person ○Address: 2nd Yagi Building, B1F, 3-6-2 Shibuya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo ○Instagram: @ishinohana_bar ○Business Hours: [Mon-Sat] 5:00 PM - 12:00 AM [Sun] 4:00 PM - 11:00 PM ※Closed: Wednesdays, Public Holidays ※Credit cards accepted ※Non-smoking △---------------------△ 【Reservations】 Reservations available 【Crowdedness】 Visited on Friday at 9:00 PM, 50% occupancy.

The standout feature is the abundance of original cocktails. The Bloody Mary with saffron and sansho is a fascinating concoction. You first smell the saffron, then taste the Bloody Mary, and finally experience the sansho after swallowing. The other cocktails were also unique and flavorful. The extensive food menu is another highlight. They even have pizza, making it a great place to start your night. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal.

I visited Bar Urushi based on a recommendation from the bartender. ☺ I love fruit cocktails, so I was happy to see a wide selection of cocktails made with seasonal fruits. ★ I actually tried one, and it was the best cocktail I've ever had. It's a truly unique drink that you can only find here. I made a reservation that day, but there were several groups of people who were turned away because the bar was fully booked. I think reservations will be essential in the future. The atmosphere and the snacks were also excellent. I definitely want to visit this bar again! Thank you for the delicious meal. (*´ω`*)

This bar boasts a wide selection of original, fresh cocktails. I particularly enjoyed their Bloody Mary made with bay leaves. I love tomatoes, so I was happy to see a variety of tomato-based drinks on the menu. Since it was a Friday night, I made a reservation. I was surprised to see so many young men, perhaps due to the Shibuya location. Although it's called a bar, the overall vibe felt quite youthful. The bar is a bit off the beaten path, so even in Shibuya, you can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. The complimentary appetizer was onion soup!

Stepping down from the street into the shop, a chic and calm atmosphere enveloped me. It's usually crowded, so I recommend making a reservation beforehand. There are counter seats and tables in the back, allowing for a relaxing experience. The service was attentive and elegant, despite the busy atmosphere. I enjoyed the original cocktails, starting from the top of the menu. Each one was refreshing and universally appealing. I felt it was the perfect place for this occasion. The snacks ranged from substantial options like sausage and chicken breast to lighter choices like chocolate. My bill was a bit high, but that's because I overindulged, so it's something to keep in mind.
