Gen Yamamoto - Minato

One of the most creative cocktail offers I've ever made. the creativity and seasonality of the drinks keeps me back on every trip to tokio. also gens know about the lilac and mica is immense, so make sure everyone ask. 100% recommended!

This amazing bar has been on our list for a very long time. We happened to be in the area around opening time, so we decided to see if there were openings or if we could make a reservation to return on another day. We arrived right at 3:00 p.m., and we were able to get in without issue. We had the whole bars to ourselves for the entire time we were there, which was for about two hours. I love the use of local, seasonal ingredients, which is why Gen was on my list from the beginning. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the seven cocktails, everything was absolutely amazing! We also enjoyed being able to speak to the owner about the source of the products as he made our drinks. We’ve decided we have to visit frequently to see how the menu changes based on the season! I can’t wait to see what unique items we have next time. During this visit, we were amazed by the Laphroaig kakigori with ume and daikon! Talk about something spectacular!

Really enjoyed a drink here prior to heading out for dinner. From the minimalist interior design to watching Yamamoto-san make the tasting menu with obvious care and expertise. Drinks are made with a well curated combination of fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, and various spirits.

I ordered 6 drinks course. All the cocktails were attended in great detail. Nice bartender will explain all the contents. The portion is small and doesn't contain much alcohol, so 6 drinks is not too much. Better to book early.

4 or 6 cocktail tasting menu based on what the bartender is inspired. the cocktails we had are on the lighter side and the cocktails tasting size (about two glasses wein for the 6 cocktails). the service was great and gen was very professional. the place is only planned so in advance!
