Our Take
French Aperitif Specialist in Ginza
Bar Cordon Noir is a small second-floor Ginza cocktail bar with a serious focus on French aperitifs and Italian amari. The back bar holds around 200 unusual European bottles and the cocktail programme builds drinks around them.
The cocktails are modern and ingredient-led. The Suze Negroni uses the French gentian aperitif. The amaro programme runs to a dozen drinks each built around a different bitter Italian liqueur.
The crowd is mid-thirties Tokyo cocktail enthusiasts who want something different from the heritage Ginza bars. Pair with Bar High Five for a Ginza cocktail evening contrasting heritage and ingredient innovation.
