Kirishima Shuzo is a distillery in Miyazaki Prefecture whose first ever shochu back in 1916 was a satsuma imo (sweet potato) one made with black koji. Kirishima kept with tradition and continued this line of black koji shochu, which grew into their now nationally recognized Kuro Kirishima. At Kirishima Shuzo, they use 100 percent Japan-grown sweet potatoes, Japan-grown rice and pure Kirishima groundwater (from 100m underground). There are no hard rules on shochu drinking style – enjoy it on the rocks, mizuwari (with water), oyuwari (with hot water) or sparkling water. Best of all, shochu is a healthy choice that's low in calories and contains no purines (there are also gluten-free versions available). No wonder Kirishima’s tipples were served at the Academy Award’s Governors Ball for three straight years since 2018 – after being introduced by Wolfgang Puck. Price: Kuro Kirishima (25％), 900ml: ¥1,016 (tax incl.) Shiro Kirishima (25％), 900ml: ¥1,016 (tax incl.) Aka Kirishima (25％), 900ml: ¥1,293 (tax incl.) Website: www.kirishima-global.com/co/en/

Mignon is a meikyoku kissa (masterpiece café) located on the Chuo line however, unlike most traditional meikyoku kissa, it feels clean and organized with purposeful decorations. Mignon is on the second floor of an unassuming building a few minutes from Ogikubo Station. Being on the second floor, Mignon is pleasantly bright and airy inside. The furniture and decor work to create a cohesive and well-conceived mid-century design. It is spacious and more akin to a modern café than the other meikyoku kissa. Enjoy the exceptional audio quality of the audio system while enjoy your cup of coffee and a piece of the shop’s fresh homemade cake.
