Late night cocktails at Land Bar Artisan by Daisuke Ito, a tiny space with only 6 counter seats located in Tokyo’s Shinbashi district. Walking down a narrow staircase to a door in the basement feels like entering into an original 1920s speakeasy.

Daisuke Ito became a bartender to learn how to make the gimlet he tasted in Hisashi Kishi's Star Bar when he was visiting Tokyo from his native Sendai. Ito persuaded the master barman to hire him and learned the trade working 10 years under Kishi. “Originally, Japanese customers preferred traditional cocktails and whisky, but recently I think that they’re seeking new experiences,” says Ito of his decision to open a closet-size, six-seat bar dedicated to fruit. 🍹
