About this place
Among the dense rows of bottles lining the back bar, BAR Kanbee distinguishes itself through an exceptional selection of Islay single malts, led by expressions from the Bruichladdich distillery such as Octomore. Rare limited releases and tasting flights invite side-by-side exploration, while rich, sweet pours like Lochindaal give the bartender plenty of latitude to suggest new directions based on individual preferences. Refreshing fruit-forward drinks made with kiwi and classics like the Grasshopper round out the menu for whatever the evening calls for.
The food menu is crafted with serious drinks in mind, offering rich foie gras pâté, assorted olives, and white-mold salami. Of particular interest is the lineup from Airgead, a brand crafting chocolates tailored specifically for bar pairings. Flavors range from roasted green tea, wild black honey, and strawberry to savory accents like miso, kombu, and porcini mushrooms, yielding unexpected harmonies when enjoyed alongside peated malts and robust spirits.
Located on the 6nd floor of an Uchi-Kanda building, the interior accommodates guests across both counter stools and table seating. Open until 5:00 in the morning, it serves as a dependable stop for an unhurried nightcap on the way home from work or a late-night refuge.
