"Whiskey lovers should not miss thischarming microbar hidden on an unassuming residential street in the quiet Shimogyo ward of Kyoto. Its gracious and creative bartender-owner Kenji Tsubokura is knownin the mixology world for trademark cocktailsthat emphasize quality whiskey and seasonal fruit.The bar also has a small snack menu with creative fare that complements the spirits:homemade beef jerky and pickles, cream cheese and miso, and scotch-soaked raw chocolate with your choice of malt. If that's not enough to sell you, the bar’s three fireplace-perched rocking chairs are quite possibly the world’s coziest place to curl up with a dram."
