MK Guide Recommends

JBA Bar is a connoisseur’s hideaway in Ginza, created under the auspices of the Japan Bartenders Association as both a showcase and a sanctuary for fine spirits. The bar doubles as a “Western Liquor Museum,” with backlit shelves displaying rare and vintage bottles from Japan and abroad. Guests can explore an extensive whiskey list—Japanese single malts, Scotch, bourbon—guided by expert bartenders who uphold the precision and etiquette of classic Japanese bar culture. Signature cocktails are crafted with quiet expertise, making each drink a study in balance and refinement. The warm wood-paneled interior and low lighting create a hushed, club-like atmosphere, perfect for slow sipping and conversation away from Ginza’s busy streets.
