"Inside Tokyo Whisky Library, the vast and opulent space—all brick walls and dark wood with plush sofas and multiple chandeliers—offers a first-rate introduction to the world of whisky. The bar carries more than 1,000 international varieties, displayed on the backlit library shelves like a giant piece of amber installation art. Award-winning mixologist Michito Kaneko creates sublime cocktails based on classics like the Old Fashioned. There’s a restaurant-sized menu offering everything from house-smoked meats to curry, pasta, aged steaks, and desserts." - Melinda Joe
