How can a bar perfectly balance being a dark, dim, sexy cocktail bar perfect for a date, with being a sake haven, and also being a rowdy home to private basement karaoke rooms? Come to Minato and find the magic at work.
My wife stuck with a glass of a dry sake, which is probably the best sake we ever tried. There are tons of options on the menu based on your preferences, so explore. I wanted to branch out a bit more and sample a sake based cocktail, so I had a sake flower, which blends in st germain and another ingredient or two. Tasty stuff, a dark pink elixir served in a lovely high ball glass.
Sadly we didn't have the stamina to stay for karaoke, but they were offering a private room for €50 per hour for small groups. Not bad if you come with friends. I would love to come back. Also, I marveled at the bartender's ability to seamless switch from fluently speaking French, English, and Japanese depending on his customer, all while mixing amazing drinks and being a super sharp dresser. A true triple threat right there. read more
