About Punch Room

Nestled on the 2nd-floor mezzanine of The Tokyo EDITION, Ginza, Punch Room summons the refined elegance of a 19th-century London private club—dark walnut panels, velvet seating in mustard, emerald, and electric blue, low lighting, and a warm, cocoon-like feel.

This is Japan’s first bar dedicated to authentic punch cocktails: a communal experience rooted in “five pillars” (spirit, citrus, sugar, spice, tea) with a modern Japanese twist. Themes like “Wonderland” and “with music” inspire menu creations such as:

Big Red Dot

Akadama port wine, Nikka Coffey malt, awamori, mango & coconut tea Sansho Punch: Whisky, sansho pepper, honey, lapsang souchong tea & clarified milk

Punches can be served individually or in elegant silver bowls with ladles, ideal for sharing—a nod to its 17th-century origins.

Under the handiwork of bar director Hideyuki Saito (with global credentials spanning London, NYC, and Southeast Asia), the bar highlights sustainable Japanese spirits, local teas, and regional spices. Its debut was a hit—named #36 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025.

With a relaxed yet sophisticated vibe—no formal dress code, seating for up to ~86, and a few nights featuring live DJs or percussion—the Punch Room is a refreshing alternative to Ginza’s typically genteel hotel bars.
