Behind the door awaits a space akin to an exclusive retreat with a sense of the extraordinary. Just stepping into the bar, you encounter a refined escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. It is the perfect place to enjoy music and conversation while sipping one of our original cocktails. The bar can also be arranged as a private room for more private gatherings.
Terrace
The terrace at the back of the office building is truly an “urban oasis”. Enjoying a tranquil moment in a sense of openness seemingly worlds away from Aoyama, sheltered in the greenery surrounding the Akasaka Imperial Palace. We recommend lunch in the warm sunlight or dinner in the serene atmosphere of our illuminated restaurant. Enjoy the seasonal menu on the terrace surrounded by greenery while experiencing the splendours of the seasons.Business Hours
