High Five (Bar)

Overview

High Five is an understated yet memorable space perched four floors up with views over the Ginza railway tracks. Cocktail-making is elevated to an art form here; the drinks are mixed with care and precision and head bartender Hidetsugo Ueno is one of the top men in his field. His cocktails are creative and unexpected in their flavors. The bar is tiny, but this intimacy is part of its appeal, and it allows you to study a master at work: blending, pouring, and even sometimes checking the temperature with a thermometer– judging every element as he goes.
