"While not listed on any exterior signage, this Japanese Whisky bar adjacent to Kado No Mise is hidden in plain sight upstairs and across from the chef’s counter. It’s a chic and intimate L-shaped bar beautifully showcasing rare, premium Japanese whiskies, lit beautifully to appear as though they are glowing. Though its function is to showcase the whisky, the bar also serves stunning signature cocktails, sake, and wine, and, unlike its sibling restaurant, is open for walk-ins." - Natalia Mendez
"Sekine will be serving both a special cocktail menu at Gori Gori Peku — Kado no Mise’s Japanese whisky bar." - Justine Jones
"Gori Gori Peku is just one-third of downtown Minneapolis’s finest Japanese dining experience: Omakase prix-fixe restaurant Kado no Mise and Kaiseki Furukawa, which offers an immersive 10-course seasonal tasting menu, are located in the same building. Gori Gori Peku is dimly lit and intimate, dressed in all the classic moody tones of a whisky bar. The selection of premium Japanese whisky is unmatched, and the bar also serves sake, wine, and more." - Eater Staff
"This hidden bar above Kado No Mise in the North Loop is tiny, but the selection is the most serious array of Japanese whiskeys in Minneapolis." - Eater Staff
"An upscale bar in the North Loop serving fine Japanese whiskies and a comprehensive selection of spirits." - Yoshina Okamoto
