BAR LARMAN

Climb the stairs and slip past the small door into BAR LARMAN, where gentle lighting illuminates an intimate space with about 8 counter seats and comfortable booth seating. Staying open into the small hours in Akasaka, it provides an unhurried, comfortable setting for a drink after work or following dinner.

The back bar makes a striking impression, stocked with a broad selection of spirits anchored by a substantial lineup of Japanese whiskies. Guests can chat with the bartender about each label's profile, whether sampling them neat, on the rocks, or as highballs, or opt for craft gin, Japanese beer, or wine according to the mood of the evening.

The cocktail repertoire spans classic American concoctions as well as bespoke drinks tailored to individual spirit preferences and flavour leanings. Watching refreshing fruit cocktails crafted before your eyes with ingredients like pear or grapefruit, or inventive creations featuring matcha, is one of the distinct pleasures of sitting here.

Nibbling on light bites and bar snacks with table service while chatting with the friendly master makes it easy to unwind. Open late into the night, the bar accepts reservations and various cashless payments, serving as an approachable spot to wind down an evening in Akasaka.
