Asia's 50 Best Bars 2021, No. 56 (51-100).

Ishinohana is a basement cocktail bar a minute's walk from Shibuya Station, opened in 2003 by owner-bartender Shinobu Ishigaki. Ishigaki won the senior category of the Bacardi Martini Grand Prix in Turin in 2005, and the bar is known for seasonal cocktails built on fresh fruit and herbs, with new recommendations every month; October 2026 brought a Verveine Collins and a fig, pistachio and Pernod daiquiri. The menu also runs house variations on the Old Fashioned, Negroni and Bloody Mary, such as a Japanese Old Fashioned with shiitake-infused whisky, maple syrup and umami bitters. Pizzas, cheese and small plates are served too.
