Shaken, stirred, sipped and swirled – if you’re after a good cocktail in Tokyo, we’ve got you covered. Here are three Tokyo cocktail bars to get your drink on:
Codename Mixology
Bartender Nagumo’s not-so-undercover ode to fantastical, mod blends like a blue cheese marti and tastebud-tingling tom yum cooler. Thankfully the fizzing rotovap also turns out a mean house special smoked meat platter for when munchies set in. Phew, something familiar amidst the mix madness…

Gen Yamamoto
Yamamoto cut his ‘tending teeth in NY, and now his Tokyo cocktail temple is bare but for an elegant eight-seat cypress bar, and the beautiful, four- and six-course seasonal tasting menus.

Mixology Salon
Pinkies poised for all-day tea and ‘tails at this tiny watering hole by celeb mixologist Shuzo Nagumo. Great for resting tired tootsies after tearing up the shops at swish Ginza Six – choose between a tea-tail tasting flight or tea-riffic signatures like gyokuro martinis and genmai negronis.
