"Gen Yamamoto’s eponymous bar is a serene oasis with eight seats around a handsome bar made from 500-year old Mizunara oak. He approaches cocktail making with a chef-like respect for ingredients and emphasis on balance. Yamamoto’s drinks are fresh, focused, and never boozy. Choose the tasting flight of four miniature cocktails (there’s also a six-variety option), which showcase seasonal local fruit. His choice of spirits is as unique and wonderful as the delicate glassware." - Melinda Joe
