About this place
A plate of smoked snacks makes an easy companion to a slow evening over whisky. At bar buffon, smoked oysters, beef tongue and chicken neck meat are each 600 yen. Duck costs 400 yen, while mackerel and cheese are 400 yen each. Chicken gizzard is 500 yen, making it easy to choose a few bites at a time.
For familiar bar snacks, pickles, nuts and nama chocolate (fresh chocolate) are all 300 yen. Choose a light bite to go with your drink. Reviewers mention the wide whisky selection, and the menu highlights include smoked duck and whisky “Black” served on the rocks. Whether you start with a snack or simply enjoy a drink is up to the mood of the evening.
Some visitors mention enjoying cocktails, including fruit cocktails. One reviewer says they described their preferences and chose a drink with the bartender’s help, so if you have not settled on a particular bottle, you could share the kind of drink you have in mind. Reviews also describe a substantial wooden counter and low chairs that feel more relaxed than the tall stools often found in bars. The bar is presented as suitable for solo dining, making it an option for a quiet drink in Kamikitazawa.
