GreenWood

Rather than choosing a set drink, tell the bartender what you feel like and have a cocktail put together for you. That’s one way to enjoy GreenWood in Shinbashi. Several reviewers say there is no menu and that they ordered by describing flavours they like or naming cocktails they know. Even if you don’t know the precise name of a drink, you can start by saying whether you’d prefer something sweet or citrus-forward.

Reviewers who enjoyed cocktails made with seasonal fruit mention strawberries, Shine Muscat grapes and kiwi. One also says they liked a yuzu cocktail, so naming a fruit you enjoy could be a useful starting point. Some guests ordered a Tommy’s Margarita or a gin sour; another asked for a non-alcoholic drink that was “sweet and cocktail-like”. Whether or not you drink alcohol, you can discuss your flavour preferences.

The bar has limited seating, centred on the counter, and some guests say it was a quiet place to talk. This small bar may suit an evening spent taking your time over drinks chosen through conversation.
