Hiya Wine Bar - Review - Roma - Mexico City - The Infatuation
"Hiya falls in line with the Japanese bar trend that’s taken over Mexico City, and we’re here for it. It’s not a speakeasy, but still tricky to find—walk past the well-known sushi spot (Yoru) until you see the expats and people who look like they moonlight as creative directors out front: a sake party awaits.
They specialize in small plates, robata, and temakis, but the vongole ramen with salty, seafood-packed clam broth and homemade noodles is next level. The robatas are on the smaller side, but at the price, you can order a bunch and still not blow your budget. As for drinks, they’ve got an essential lineup: sake by the carafe or bottle, wines, and a solid cocktail lineup. The Kikumasamune sake carafe is a steal at $11 and perfect for sharing with someone special. For something more refreshing, get their yuzu lemonade that’s light, tangy, and perfectly tart." - Guillaume Guevara
