The Global Drinker — World Bar Guide
The Bellwood
Tokyo, Japan
Walk uphill from the hubbub of Hachiko Exit and Shibuya Crossing and, as the streets gradually quieten, you will reach The Bellwood. World-class bartender Atsushi Suzuki and his team, clad in white lab coats, serve creative, fascinating cocktails in a cosy, wood panelled setting inspired by Taisho-era kissaten – coffee shops from the early 20th century – with hints of an Old West saloon. Tea and coffee feature prominently throughout the drinks menu, while a programme of brunches and food collaborations gives regulars reason to return.
