An absolutely wonderful experience. Be patient and you will decorate a cocktail with care and grace. The owner loves his craft. This place is tiny with seats 10 at the bar, which complements the intimate atmosphere. There is a secret private room with a massive chandelier that could provide a great intimate party. We will definitely be back when we visit Kyoto next. Thanks Matso!

Unbelievable little cocktail bar. Owner is excellent, does not speak much English, makes incredible cocktails. Great surroundings, just a few seats so early!

Jardín Rosa (only this place and drink from the photo). Gin base drink with rose water, lemon and protein) It is hard to find this place, because there is no sign outside the building. But it's on the 4th floor of the Redbrick building. Super cozy with beautiful bartenders!

Amazing Amaretto Sour and a interesting concoction made by the bar tender. Genuinely friendly owners. A surprise hidden gem. We almost missed it by the very plain non labelled door. Well worth a visit. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

A quiet, menu-free bar where each drink is tailored to you, using local Kyoto herbs and Japanese spirits with remarkable subtlety. Thoughtful, seasonal, and deeply personal—this is cocktail-making as quiet art. Price per person: ¥4,000–5,000 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
