Shonzui

Shonzui, which opened in 1993, is one of the original forbearers of the natural wine movement in Tokyo. Run by Shinsaku Katsuyama, one of Japan’s most beloved wine personalities, the bar has not skipped a beat since opening. Like many of Tokyo’s wine bars, Shonzui is not easy to find (it’s located on the second floor of a modern office building) and, as such, remains a destination rather than a bar you’re likely to wander into. Expect an enthusiastic mix of industry people, natural wine lovers, locals and Roppongi salarymen. (Shonzui 祥瑞: 港区六本木7-10-2 三河屋伊藤ビル 2F)
