The Best Bars in Roppongi & around

This is a cocktail bar on the ninth floor in Azabujuban, where the balcony frames Tokyo Tower like a postcard someone paid extra for. Inside, a disco ball spins over a Godzilla statue in a furry eye mask, and the menu arrives as a manga comic. The drinks are inventive, with sake and shochu in play, and hot dogs show up on the food side. It made Asia's 50 Best Bars at #70, so dress for a party that has opinions.

Eight seats, one bartender, and a flower chosen to match each drink: Gen Yamamoto runs cocktails the way Kyoto runs kaiseki. You choose a flight of four, six, or seven courses, each one built around whatever ingredient the season hands over, each served in its own piece of glassware. It is a cocktail bar in the way a tea ceremony is a cup of tea. Yamamoto-san holds a spot on The 50 Discovery list.
