Cocktails with Ninja Ice and highballs
Cocktails with Ninja Ice, fresh fruit cocktails, and classic whisky highballs define the order. Craft cocktails and beer broaden the choice, so STAR BAR GINZA fits a drinks-led plan more than a food-led one.
MODERNS GINZA B1F
東京都中央区銀座1-5-13 MODERNS GINZA B1F puts the bar below street level in Ginza. The standalone setting and quiet noise level suit a conversation-led stop with smart casual dress.
Classic Japanese cocktail bar rankings
STAR BAR GINZA held Asia rankings of No. 33 in 2016, No. 31 in 2017, No. 43 in 2018, and No. 50 in 2021. That span signals sustained bar recognition without changing the practical focus: cocktails.
