Nanajuni

Hide away inside Nanajuni for the evening and get transported to Japan through the power of experimental cocktails and dramatically contemporary interiors. Found below fusion restaurant Sticks'n'Sushi, this bar is inspired by Japan's calendar of 72 micro seasons. The natural materials at the forefront of the decor reflect this focus on seasonal elements, along with the delicately balanced sips on the cocktail menu. 

They also host an oma-sake experience where guests can dine on curated dishes which have each been specially paired with a particular sake to bring out the depths of flavour.
