Little Smith

$ $ $ $   |   Tokyo, Japan

A subterranean architectural sanctuary in Ginza known for seasonal fruit cocktails

 

Hidden beneath the glamorous streets of Tokyo’s Ginza district, Little Smith is a basement sanctuary celebrated for its striking architectural design and considered approach to Japanese mixology. Descending the stairs reveals a dramatic, cavernous space defined by a soaring curved masonry vault, soft ambient lighting and an expansive horseshoe-shaped counter that serves as the centerpiece of the room. Since its opening, Little Smith has earned a dedicated following for its signature fruit cocktails. Bartenders carefully select peak-season Japanese produce for the drinks, ranging from luscious Shizuoka melons and Nagano grapes to sweet Fukuoka strawberries. The atmosphere is sophisticated yet comfortable, providing a tranquil haven from Ginza’s bustle.
