Located on the 4th floor of the Brown Place building in Tokyo’s upscale Ginza district, Ginza Music Bar is a refined music-and-cocktail lounge concept created by noted music producer Shinichi Osawa and coffee producer Nobuhiro Toriba. It’s designed for serious music lovers who also appreciate elevated bar experience: the sound system packages high-fidelity gear (turntable: Garrard Model301; speakers: Tannoy Westminster; power amps: McIntosh). The vinyl collection spans over 3,000 records covering genres from rock, jazz, soul, disco, new wave through to indie, hip-hop, techno and minimal. By night the atmosphere takes over: a DJ-curated set gradually builds through the evening, the lighting remains moody, the cocktails are crafted and the vibe is more lounge than boisterous club. One visitor wrote: “Brilliant bar… DJ plays from his collection of 3,000 vinyl records and builds the tempo through the evening — just behind the main street in the heart of Ginza.” Cocktail wise, you’ll find house specials, well-selected spirits, and a strong whiskey collection. One review pointed out a “Moscow Mule with homemade ginger ale” that stood out. Seating is limited and the venue tends to fill, especially later in the evening. It’s ideal for date nights or a unique bar experience rather than a wild night out. Because Ginza Music Bar lies in a premium district and emphasizes both sound quality and drink quality, it leans upscale—but remains approachable in concept (though perhaps not in price). Expect to pay for craft. In sum: it’s a bar that celebrates music as much as cocktails, with elegance, depth and a distinctive Tokyo flavour.
