This is a new restaurant that just opened last year. It used to be a BAR. I had been curious about it as I walked by, and on the day of my visit, I made a spontaneous call to see if I could drop by. The owner used to be a knitwear designer. They love sake and food, and that's what inspired them to start this restaurant. It seems they ran an exclusive sake BAR in Ebisu for many years. They decided to close the place due to COVID-19 but made a comeback in Tsukiji last year. The interior is crafted by the owner themselves, showcasing their design background; everything is very stylish, and you can feel their attention to detail. The restaurant exclusively serves sake, featuring rare selections. They offer vintage sake aged in their own cellar in the Yatsugatake region, served in unique cups. The menu also includes curated small dishes using carefully selected ingredients. There is a special menu for first-time visitors priced at 4,400 yen, and a customizable menu for subsequent visits priced at 11,000 yen, which includes various small plates and dishes based on customers' preferences. Since it was our first visit, we opted for the 4,400 yen menu and tried several dishes. The owner operates the restaurant alone, so making a reservation is advisable for a smoother experience. This place is quite unique, and you can really feel the sense of style throughout. While the prices for the sake are on the higher side, these are rare kinds of sake that are hard to come by. It's quite a niche choice, but for enthusiasts, it's a fantastic spot. Thank you for reading my review. Your likes, follows, and saving the restaurant are greatly appreciated. I would be delighted if you could also check out my posts on Instagram. Instagram→＠gurume_sake_007

At "Sake Kappo & BAR Ju," located in Tsukiji, you can enjoy rare and aged sake! The owner used to run a members-only bar in Ebisu and has a background in design. The drinks are quite generous, with one serving being "1.8 liters," which guarantees getting quite drunk. Since it's a one-man operation, it takes a fair amount of time for food to be served, leading to a spiral of drinking while waiting, resulting in intoxication. The owner advised to take it slow, but that proved difficult (although the service isn't actually that slow, in my opinion). The snacks are diverse and delicious, with a focus on presentation and beautiful tableware. The sake cups are handmade by the owner (no surprise, given his design background). There are certain rules, like returning the empty dishes and having a chaser starting from the second drink, and the owner has a bit of a quirky personality, so it's best to visit if you don’t mind that. Due to the strong emphasis on quality, this place might really appeal to those who appreciate special touches. However, since they serve rare sake, prices can be on the higher side.
