About my concept

I have been to traditional and trendy bars in London, Paris, Milan, Venice, Madrid, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Sydney, Melbourne, and Singapore to experience foreign bar culture.

With these experiences, I hope to serve delicious classic cocktails from a Japanese perspective.

My aim is to create a delicate taste with the minimum amount of ingredients and processes required.

My cocktails embrace simplicity, focusing on high-quality ingredients rather than gimmicks to craft a memorable experience.

In Japanese cuisine, ingredients combine in a delicate harmony of umami - a philosophy I bring to my cocktails.

I want my guests to enjoy a concept and skill which transcends any cocktail textbook or manual.

To achieve this, drawing inspiration from Japanese tea ceremonies, BAR GIVERNY takes pride in serving customers with consideration and focus on the drink being prepared. 

Putting my heart into my cocktails, I decided to create two spaces to capture these elements.

Inspired by Giverny in France, home to Monet’s famous “Water Garden” paintings, this bar fuses the concept of capturing natural light and cocktails.

Monet painted a single garden scene for 30 years, capturing the changing 'water' and 'light' according to season, weather and time of day.

In the same way, alcoholic drinks are perceived and expressed differently depending on the environment in which they are encountered and the people who sip them.

Since establishing Giverny, I have continued to provide an environment that allows time and expression to imagine and capture 'water (alcoholic)' and 'light (moment)'.

Just as with Monet’s paintings of "Waterlilies" all having different  expressions, I hope you will experience the world of water (alcohol) and light (the moment) created at Giverny with your own senses.

Ice

Many bartenders around the world now make clear ice, and it certainly looks beautiful.

However, Japanese "pure ice" (or junpyo) is fundamentally different, not only in appearance but in character.

It is frozen slowly by skilled ice craftsmen in large insulated tanks over 48 to 72 hours, using ultra-pure water that produces exceptionally dense, slow-melting ice.

The ice is clean, neutral in taste, and completely free of unwanted aromas, so the spirits can express their full character while maintaining a soft, elegant mouthfeel.

Clear ice can be made anywhere, but the taste, purity, and sense of harmony it brings to a drink are uniquely Japanese.

By using this Japanese ice to its fullest potential, I craft cocktails that reflect the harmony and flavor I consider ideal.

* "Junpyo" is a Japanese term for "pure ice," specifically referring to high-quality, clear ice crafted through a slow-freezing process that removes air bubbles.
