Kumamoto has exactly one place on the list so far: Yakoboku, honored by The 50.
-
Rank 1. Yakoboku
Cocktail Bar
A former storehouse on a pre-war street in Kumamoto, stripped back to almost nothing, where the dramatically lit counter and the bartender behind it are the entire point. Yakoboku is a serious cocktail bar, trained up through Tokyo, Singapore, and Lamp Bar in Nara, and it shows in the quiet confidence of the room. Asia's 50 Best Bars has it at number 25, which lands about right for a place this deliberately unhurried.
