Mixology Heritage

Tokyo, Japan

Asia's 50 Best Bars 2021, No. 60 (51-100).

Mixology Heritage opened in Hibiya OKUROJI in 2020 as the classic cocktail bar of Spirits & Sharing, the group behind Mixology Salon. Its motto, Beyond the Classic, means revisiting the canon of classic cocktails and then pushing past it. Vintage whiskies and spirits line the shelves behind the bar, and old bottles go into drinks such as the Ultimate Martini, made with gin from as far back as the 1950s and vermouth from the 1970s. Cocktails are also aged in house, maturing in jars on the back bar. The room has a pressed metal ceiling, a rustic wooden bar top and Renaissance paintings.
