Customer Reviews
Well crafted cocktails made with seasonal ingredients and the utmost care. You can choose 4-7 cocktails (don’t worry, all of them are quite small) husband and I each had 6 and honestly could have done 7. Everything we had was delicious and interesting. Gen Yamamoto takes great pride in what he does and it shows. While stoic and serious about his craft, he is also welcoming and is happy to answer any questions you have. Highly recommend that you make a reservation here for a unique omakase cocktail experience. FYI no food, just cocktails. My only complaint was that it was very quiet. Could have used some music.
A minimalistic experience with a host that makes you feel right at home. The drinks were simple and seasonal. They had between 2-3 ingredients. So each flavour was clear and easy to recognize. We went with 6 drinks and I only disliked one of them. The rest were really great. The atmosphere was relaxed and Gen was kind and welcoming. It is a great drink omakase experience.
Limited seating craft drink bar, the mixologist is a master of his art. Liquors from all over the world combined with fresh fruit and other ingredients locally create a custom flight of drinks that will impress. Reservations are a must.
This was exceptional - highly recommend. A meditative cocktail omakase that made me wonder what visual or performing art form could produce the same effect as this sequence. Really lovely!
