MIXOLOGY SALON

I think the best experience are found serendipitously...and if you found this review this is your chance to come try an unique tasting experience. Their unique mix of spirits and tea is a must try. It makes liquor paletable for people whom are a bit alcohol shy and enhances the experience for those whom love a great drink. The most standout part of the drinks is definitely the aromas. Very rarely can you both enjoy the taste and the smell of your cocktails. The experience was so good that we came back to back nights :). I definitely will come back anytime we are back in Ginza. FYI: the can get busy, so making a reservation is recommended. We did get lucky with getting seating near the end of their shift. Alcoholic Drink favorite: Jasmine Tea Tail Hojicha Tea Tail Li-Shan Mist Jasmine Wissie Wizz For non Alcoholic drink: Berry & Pistachio - frozen drink, like dessert Nouvelle Vague

Located on 13F of the Ginza 6 building, which can be accessed from the south lifts. This bar offers a unique experience, with its focus on tea based cocktails. The drinks are creative and delicious, and the service was friendly. The vibe is high class without being pretentious. We were lucky to get seats as a walk-in, bookings recommended.

I love tea and I love cocktails - Mixology combines the two incredibly well in a beautiful, intimate setting where you can see how everything is made. For me, the hot matcha cocktail and sencha gin tonic are the highlight as the pure tea flavours shine. I will be coming back to Mixology every time I am in Japan. The staff spoke multiple languages and were very respectful of dietary and allergy needs. There are mocktails available for those who want to enjoy the experience but can't drink alcohol. I recommend a seat at the counter, and booking in advance (though it's not necessary) so you get a good spot.

We chanced it and went without a reservation at about 3pm. They had a follow on reservation so we were only allowed one order. Butt the drinks here were phenomenal. So well balanced and really puts the tea front and center - not easy to do at all!

A great combination of tea and cocktails. For me, it was a truly unique experience. Not gunna lie, the cocktails are pretty expensive, but again, it was worth it. The best cocktail out of the three that I tried was the monthly feature of the "vintage oolong teatail" - the combination of the oolong tea and Pedro Ximenes was very tasty and loved the tannic notes from the oolong. I'll try to attempt to make it back home!

A very small place, around 10 spots so it is a very intimate experience. Atmosphere and vibes were great, loved the aesthetic they had going. Note that at the time they had a 800 yen per person cover charge. It came with a small snack as shown in the picture with banana bread and some savoury crackers. The drinks were not bad, it was our first time trying tea infused cocktails. Of the 4 drinks we got, 1 of them were of my liking. Unfortunately, I didn’t take any pictures of the other drinks.

One of our favourite experiences during our stay in Tokyo. We were lucky as we were able to get a table spontaneously by reserving earlier on the same day (we discovered this bar when walking by randomly). So first advice, try to book upfront as it seems to be a popular place and has limited seats. To make it short, we loved each of the cocktails which came within the selected menu. We were surprised how good alcohol beverages fit with all kinds of tea varieties. Lovely place and people, handling customers with care. Must-go if you are in the area!

The drinks were okay. But the staffs are very arrogant. While the staffs think we’re only tourists who don’t understand Japanese, they used Japanese to talk about us. But actually we are foreigners who lived in Japan quite a long time and understood the conversations of them. Feels so uncomfortable.

Got recommendation from friends to go check it out. A great spot located in Ginza 6 on the 13th floor, we walked in around 2pm without a resy and was offered to sit "outside" in the "mall". We would of course rather be at the bar counter watching the prime act of cocktail making (which is a tea focus cocktails) so reservation is a must. Although full disclosure we actually ended up liking another cocktail bar Folklore the best, which is owned by the same restaurant group. Check it out!

Cheers to tea infused cocktails! The menu is unique and advanced reservations are a must since seating is limited. I love a good gin and tonic and an espresso martini. I opted to try their tea infused versions. The gin and tonic was herby with a light green tint. The tea was very subtle. The espresso martini was well balanced and delicious. I also tried their Oolong tea-tail no. 2. This was light and fruity. Overall, the drinks were well executed and not boozy. I also had the cheese platter which paired well with my drinks. My favorite was the Japanese tea espresso martini. Instead of a strong coffee taste, the matcha and sencha teas were the highlights of this innovative drink. The place has a minimalist and relaxing vibe. The bartenders were young, friendly men who wore lab coats and ties and enjoyed experimenting with liquors and teas.

Tokyo, Ginza. November 2022 Cocktails made with tea-infused spirits in a tiny eight seat minimalist bar on the 13th floor of Ginza Six. Very inviting to ladies who lunch and/or drink. One of the concepts by Nakamura Shuzo, who has other bars in the Hibiya Okuroji under the Yamanote train tracks. If you have no idea where to start, I recommend committing to a tea cocktail course. Currently, they are featuring Gyokuro tea. For the uninitiated, Gyokuro is a shade grown tea generally cultivated from Japanese tea varietals. It is a beautiful dark green with a wonderful scent. The first course is Gyokuro steeped at a low temperature. The resulting first brew is full of umami without any hint of astringency or bitterness. I would liken it to a very delicate dashi made with katsuo and kombu, but the liquid is strictly tea. Eye opening! Next, a second brew combines the tea with Ice wine snd Islay Single Malt. Swirling and successive sups bring new flavors. The peaty smokiness works well. Third, you choose your own tea based cocktail off their menu. Last, you are served Gyokuro, warm. The spent tea leaves are mixed with a smoked soy and oyster sauce and served as an ohitashi vegetable. I have never been served tea leaves as an eating course. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and courteous. It's very easy to walk up and join the fun. Give this place a try.

Such a cool bar in the Ginza6 department store. Located on the top floor it's a pretty small place that's packed and you need to make a reservation or you will not be getting in. The drinks were fantastic! If you like tea and want to try some phenomenal tea cocktails you need to go here! They also have a really nice selection of mock tails which was nice and rare in Japan since the nonalcoholic culture at bars is still very lacking. We ordered a cheese plate which was small but really really good. The otoshi (first served snack plate) was really good and included in the cover charge. The fig yokan (Japanese traditional dessert usually not made of fig) was really lovely as well. I tried the wasabi gin which was really really strong but it was a really cool experience and I love wasabi. I think even as a wasabi lover it was a bit too much but I could drink it. The tea espresso martini was probably one of the best cocktails ever! Definitely a new and interesting take on the espresso martini. I think I prefer it in tea form since I'm not a huge coffee drinker. My mom ordered a matcha latte which is not on the menu but they were able to make it anyway. They use single origin very high quality matcha here so the matcha was strong but also tasted great. Highly recommend!

A really great cocktail bar on the 13th floor of GINZA SIX, Mixology Salon is a bar focused on tea based cocktails. The Matcha Old Fashion and Sencha Gin & Tonic were our favorites, but all that we tried were terrific. Mixology Salon uses premium spirits -- Zacapa XO rum, Makers Mark -- which it infuses with different tea. Many they put through a distillation process after the infusion. Mixology Salon is in a small space, but it is very nice with a zen feel to it. We will be back!

Most bars open at 6pm, but Mixology salon is open from 11am. They're on the 13th floor of Ginza six. The menu focus is tea based cocktails. They also have some small bites. The space is small - 6 seats at the bar with another table for 2 on the side. Outside of the bar, they have some seating, too. Drinks we tried: - Hoji tea tail no 1: milder, light - Four seams no. 6: cool presentation in the square wood box; on the corners, there was yuzu pepper and cardamom marmalade, which changes the flavor of the cocktail in a cool way - Soba Cha cocktail: topped with homemade miso powder - Green tea fashioned: super cool presentation with an ice cube that had angles - looking like an emerald. It was topped with gold flakes None of the drinks was particularly strong. Prices are around ¥1600-1900 a drink plus a cover charge of ¥800 per person, so it's not cheap. It's a cool concept to do all of these unique tea based cocktails, and it's a nice place to take a break with a quiet drink amidst the craziness of shopping in Ginza.

Great place for guys to relax with some drinks while the lady goes shopping. They have a unique style where they distill alcohol with tea. So you'll have some cocktails like sencha gin tonic, gyokuro vodka martini, green tea old fashioned, etc. Produced by a world famous bartender and they serve some very photogenic drinks!

What an experience! A friend and I stumbled upon this quaint bar while exploring Ginza Six. We were immediately welcomed by a server eager to describe the intricate tea cocktails the bar has to offer. Everything we tried was EPIC...including the banana bread they served with the drinks. Fell in love with the employees as they were excited to share their knowledge about the teas they brewed. Lastly, the bar is perfectly decorated. A must try if you are in the area!
