Somehow, after almost seven years, Mizunara still feels like a well-kept secret. The bar’s solemn atmosphere – reflected in its rock garden terrace – ensures this is a place for quiet appreciation of a masterful concoction. The white of bartender-in-chief Masahiko Endo’s immaculate dinner jacket is almost blinding, its pristine dazzle a testament to the man’s precision and poise. Not a drop goes astray. Endo’s award-winning cocktails are perfectly made and the whisky list is one of the longest in the city, featuring some incredibly rare tipples.
