memento mori

Atmosphere: 9/10 Located within the Toranomon Hills Business Tower, Memento Mori exudes an upscale, jungle-like ambiance. The interior is adorned with lush greenery, prominently featuring cacao trees and beans, aligning with its cacao-centric theme. Despite its shopping mall location, the bar’s design elements create an immersive and atmospheric experience. The soothing, quiet music enhances the serene environment, though it may allow for overhearing nearby conversations. Drinks: 6.5/10 Recommendation: — The menu is stylishly presented, featuring photographs of most signature drinks and indicating the strength of each cocktail, which helps with decision-making. While the signature drinks come with unique presentations in high-quality glassware and minimal garnish, the flavors didn’t quite deliver. The cacao notes often overpowered the drinks, creating an imbalance that distracted from the overall profile. Coasters are present and fit the overall vibe. Service: 9/10 Service reflects the high standards typical in Asia. The team is friendly and professional—water, warm towels, and a complimentary snack are provided upon arrival. Prices are average for Tokyo, making the experience feel polished but not overpriced. As part of the Mixology Group, which operates several high-quality bars in Tokyo, Memento Mori continues their tradition of strong design and thematic identity.

Came here on a bit of a whim as we were in the area looking for a fun bar to check out. We found Memento Mori, which is an upscale cocktail bar that focuses on chocolate-based drinks. While the price is on the higher side, these were some of the most creative and incredibly intricate drinks that I’ve had. Their Negroni was absolutely amazing, the cocoa nib infused drink was one of the best Negroni’s I’ve ever had (though some traditionalists would disagree). They even had a blue cheese infused drink that surprisingly wasn’t bad. The bartenders were all super attentive and tried to explain each of the concepts of their drinks and did so in English, which is appreciated. If you are looking for a cocktail bar and price doesn’t matter, jump in here - 100% recommend! It’s a cocoa forward, so be a chocolate lover!

We walked-in, and only had to wait ~10 minutes before being seated. The concept of this bar is boozy chocolate cocktails. We got the 5 alcoholic cocktails course and the 3 non-alcoholic mocktail courses. Both were great, and some of them even mirrored each other. The presentation and commitment to showcasing all parts of the cacao bean were exceptional. The ambiance definitely fits a Memento Mori vibe. 10/10

Mind blowing, unique cocktail concept. Loved every single drink we had and we were impressed at how cacao really translated to cocktails. We came here late afternoon before an early dinner reservation and were surprised at how intimate the space felt despite being in a massive office building !

I love cacao and cocktails so this place has become one of my favourite bars in Tokyo. I ordered the cocktail omakase and loved every drink. We also tried the Roquefort au Chocolat and were all really impressed! The balance between blue cheese and chocolate is amazing. Mindblowing cocktails, delicious snacks, will definitely come back.

Exceptional service, really classy atmosphere, and a wonderful variety of flavours and options. As a non-alcohol drinker I had the mocktail set with three drinks, and a chocolate terrine dessert. Everything was delicious and the serving staff were friendly and attentive.

One of our favorite experiences in Tokyo. The Roguefort Au Chocolate will go down as one of my favorite cocktails I’ve ever had. The service was great, the servers enriched the experience, and I can’t say enough good things about this place!

A beautiful bar—you're warmly greeted and shown to your seat the moment you step in. The cacao-infused cocktails were on another level—rich, inventive, and unforgettable. I only wish I lived closer so I could go back and try more!
