01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Set on the 3th floor of a Kagurazaka building, Kien welcomes guests into a tranquil, Japanese-modern interior. A central highlight is the collection of fresh fruit cocktails mixed with seasonal produce such as strawberries, peaches, or grapes. By indicating your preferred style—short or long, dry or crisp—along with any ingredients to avoid, you can receive a personalized drink tailored to your mood. The bar also maintains an extensive shelf beyond cocktails, spanning single malt whiskies, sherries ranging from crisp Fino to richly sweet Pedro Ximénez, wines, beers, and a curated selection of regional sake and shochu.
Thoughtfully Prepared Bar Food
The food menu is equally well considered. Staples like housemade beef jerky, custom raisin butter, and curated cheese or sausage assortments complement the aromatic complexities of whisky and wine. For those arriving with a fuller appetite, the kitchen turns out substantial dishes such as Matsusaka beef curry and a daily chef's pasta.
In addition to the counter, table seating is available, making the room just as comfortable for an after-work solo drink as it is for small groups in conversation. Open from 19:00 to 2:00 late into the night except on Sundays, it serves as an easy hideaway to drop into after dinner in Kagurazaka.
