01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
On the ground floor of a building in Moto-Azabu, Bar Gojyuni-ban is a place where the food can take centre stage alongside the drinks. The menu is centred on Italian cooking and goes beyond bar snacks, making it a considered option when the aim is a proper meal as well as a drink.
From starters and pasta to meat dishes
The choices range from fragrant spaghetti Genovese to starters such as lemon-marinated horse mackerel, bagna cauda and mentaiko ajillo. Mains include ginger steak made with pork loin, cuttlefish in the style of Sète and beef fillet tagliata. For a distinctive finish, there is also chilled ramen with green chilli. Desserts include grown-up tiramisu, custard pudding and cherries jubilee, so it is possible to build a meal with the feel of a course-by-course dinner.
Room to settle in over a drink
There is a relaxed counter as well as tables where guests can linger; reviewers describe the space as comfortable for dining alone or in a group. Drinks include cocktails made to suit individual preferences, a wide selection of whiskies, wine and beer. Choosing a glass to go with the food is part of the appeal. The bar is open until 3 a.m. Monday to Saturday. Reservations are available, and payment can be made by card or through various QR-code payment services.
