amazing place to get away from all the crowds in shibuya. kobayashi-san is a quite man, but he'll take your requests and give you some rec's. open from 2pm until around 11pm depending on the mood!

AmateurConcierge

Probably my favorite bar in the world. Amazing music selection and well priced, simple drinks. I could live here

Andreas Serna

10,000+ records collected over 40 years by the owner and solo bartender ! Ultra chill vibe. All drinks are 500 yen including many different whiskies and pour over coffee made carefully. Diverse crowd .

Pio Rasch-Halvorsen

A charming man taking equally good care of his customers and his huge record collection . Two types of beer and at least ten times as many of whisky . I wish I never had to leave!

omae

cool record collection . clientele is heavily tilted to the same cast of worldwide hipsters that youll see next week in brooklyn or paris.

Alberto Monterrosas

Really nice kissaten ???? the owner is grumpy but just shut your american mind and listen his alcohol and music recommendations; DON’T SIT IN FRONT OF THE RECORDS! And bring cash!

Ishan

Hidden gem if you're into jazz - both mainstream and the obscure artists from the 60's. Owner has an encyclopedic knowledge about jazz , so don't hesitate to ask more about the music playing. Amazing!

Jeff Solomon

Atmosphere (aside from the actual temperature of the room) is great. The owner doesn’t say much, but continuously is changing up the music on a record player. Good place to meet new friends

Daniel Sciberras

What a great jazz bar . Owner Kobayashi-san has more than 11,000 records here - chat to him, he is actually very friendly . This place is a music library , where added bonuses are whiskey and smoke.

Jonas

A crazy cool jazz bar in Shibuya. Amazing jazz music and the whole bar 's interior is made out of wood and vinyls . Must see if you like jazz and chilling with a glass of whisky .

pretty much heaven on earth for any crate digger. two ¥500 beers later and i found myself splurging in a record shop nearby. vibes!

Eamonn Carey

This might be the best bar I've ever been in. Owner can be a bit grumpy but the music is great and the drinks are reasonable.

Florence Jones

Shame it's full of obnoxious tourist s, really sweet guy running it on his own. Could have at least been a nice friendly expat crowd. Well priced drink- managed to squeeze in for one. Amazing decor

Brook Shelley

Outstanding jazz and a no-nonsense proprietor. For the sake of other patrons, please shut up and listen.

Allie Quinn

Super tiny jazz bar that's very popular with expats and foreigners. Drinks are decently cheap and the owner takes song requests!

Chuck K

This guy decided open a bar to share his 10k records. He runs 2 Thorens turntables to 2 Altec speaker cabinets, either side of the back door. 6 nights, 2-11 but stays as long as people want to enjoy<3

Jade Atkins

Cute , relaxed place where the bartender is also the dj and has an amazing collection of music . Definitely worth a visit.

Maxim Fedotov

Hidden gem . Owner has 50k vinyl records , always full with foreigners. You'll feel like in NY jazz bar

Obi

It’s not like you have a lot of options: whiskey and the sweet sound of vinyl . But apparently that’s all you need.

Andrew C

Amazing place. Get there early, chill and enjoy the music .

Stefano

"It's closed for today" said the bar keeper at 11pm on a Saturday night with Nas blasting from the speakers and people chatting at the tables ???? Fair enough

Filip Konikowski

Wow !!! This is a must for any record lover !

Juan Buis

Great vibes, amazing owner. Gets busy on weekends!

Jason Gatewood

Pull that gold knob UP on the toilet to flush it. You laugh bow, but there are others that wish they knew beforehand.

Thiti Luang

The bar that I can come 3 days a week.

Can K

Unpretentious, underrated, timeless

om malik

Irish whiskey selection is the bomb! Tellamore Dew! Enough said!

Plot Romulez

The jazz place you would look for in Chicago

Elias Olderbakk

Jazzz & good vibes & good atmosphere

Pamela Abernethy

Great music - wonderful atmosphere

Jacob Davis

Bartender/owner is incredibly rude and doesn’t deserve your money. Hipster Brooklyn vibe isn’t worth your time. Avoid

Jia Li

Chill and relaxed. Great music

Jonas Vetlesen

Nice place, cool dude & good music !

Willem Driebergen

Amazing collection

Mel

Personal service in cosy atmosphere

Trish F

Whisky and jazz -perfect combo

WK Chan

Look Asian? Expect to be told the bar is closed even though it's clearly packed with foreigners. The so-called friendly owner said something rude to us in Japanese.

Kevin Ng

cheap drinks , curt service, but what a vibe

Carlos Fernández

If you want to pay for getting shouted come here... it’s a shame that it’s owner has such a bad mood... ☹️

Ishan

Appears to have shut down, a recent visit proved fruitless :(

David Birruete

Muy bueno, selección de música infinita
