Unknown

Tucked away just a few minutes from Ebisu Station, unknown is a hidden gem for lovers of thoughtful, beautifully crafted drinks. The bar blends minimalist Japanese aesthetics—think subtle organic textures and a calm, modern palette—with a warm, inviting glow that feels both refined and relaxed. Its signature are tea-infused cocktails—referred to as “tea-tails”—that celebrate Japan’s rich tea culture. Drinks range from barley shōchū paired with hōjicha and coffee liqueur, to blends of Ki No Bi gin with matcha, yuzu, and club soda, all offered without names, only numbers and a list of ingredients. Tea-centric gins—like gyokuro, sencha, and black tea—are available neat with tonic, soda, or water, for around ¥1,300. Patrons rave about the personalized attention and artistry behind each drink. One reviewer called it “the best tea cocktail in Tokyo,” highlighting the “green tea gin” as their top choice and praising the friendly, masterful host who crafts each beverage with care—and even offers homemade Campari shots as a parting gesture.
