Despite being a relative newcomer, this pristine and smart-looking bar, all decked out in the classic get-up of wood and marble, already has a regality about it. The owner, Yuzo Komai, an experienced bartender from Fukuoka, named his place after the hundred- petal rose ‘Centifolia’ after discovering that roses are the local emblem of the Azabu-Juban neighbourhood, where the bar is located.
A stunning collection of 100-plus antique glasses is given pride of place on the shelves behind the bar. Whether you’re after a classic or a house special, you can trust Komai to make you a superb cocktail – he is, after all, an award- winning maestro mixologist.
