The drinks were very delicious and classic! Shuhei had some natural wines on selection and they tasted amazing. The vibes of this place are super relaxed and cozy with a clear amount of regulars with good conversation! Friendly to English speakers as well!

What an amazing night! We literally had tears in our eyes after such a cool experience. It's an intimate setting close to the band but not crowded and such a great vibe. The band was so great! We will never forget it! Thank you! Highly recommend it!
