Cupcakes by Day - Wine Bar by Night: Notting Hill Cakes and
The Kimono Wine Bar Launch a Delicious Destination
The challenging economy is leading to inspired – and unexpected – cooperative business projects around the world, and Tokyo is no exception.
In that spirit, the Kimono Wine Bar will debut on Tuesday, September 8. The Wine Bar will share a cozy, chic space with Notting Hill Cakes & Gifts, this upscale professional neighborhood’s purveyor of delicious cakes and treats.
Kimono Wine Bar producer Lauren Shannon tells the story: “
“Tokyo-ites really appreciate good food and good wine. We’ve been thinking of opening a place for wine lovers and wine learners alike. At the same time, my friend Mark Peterson wanted to do something creative with his space during down times. So, we decided to create a special space, inspired by Japan’s Art Deco period. We’ll offer a New World Wine menu, with some nice surprises. And, we’ll have the great foods that go well with wine cheese plates, savory dishes, small canapés and cured salami. We’ll also offer craft beers and a wide range of classic cocktails.”
With its elegantly funky balance of warm wood hues, lovely art and dynamic lighting, the space needs surprisingly little work to change from the bright, lovely café by day, to the sophisticated spot for excellent wines by night. With seating for up to 22, there’s space for intimate conversations as well as group get-togethers. It’s a match made in heaven (and Nishi-Azabu) for wine lovers.
Reserve a private table or join other patrons at the long open table - or reserve the open table for your group of 8-12 people, The Kimono Wine Bar will also be offering private party menus for your birthday or other special gatherings.
Hours:
Tues - Thurs 7:00-12:00am
Friday - Saturday 7:00pm – 1am
For reservations/press inquiries call 03-5464-3788 or email info@kimonowinebar.com
