Came to Gen Yamamoto for a get-together with friends and did the 5-cocktail course. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time — we booked about a week in advance, and I wouldn’t count on getting in last minute.
The drinks were delicious and much lighter than I expected. A lot of them were really fruit-forward, with just enough alcohol to balance everything rather than overpower it, so the whole tasting was very easy to enjoy.
A big part of the experience is also watching each cocktail being made right in front of you. Everything is prepared so carefully and deliberately that it almost feels like a little performance with each drink.
Really fun experience, especially with friends, and a nice option if you want something more thoughtful than a typical cocktail bar.
I share more of my Tokyo food and drink experiences, along with the places I’d actually recommend, on Bunky Chow.
