Bar Trench

Bar Trench, located in Tokyo's Ebisu district and ranked No. 94 on the World's extended list, was founded in 2010 by Rogerio Igarashi Vaz as a social cocktail bar continuing an absinthe lineage. The interior evokes American depression-era speakeasies with dim lighting and western music, housing Japan's largest selection of bitters and rare herbal liqueurs. Signature cocktails include the Trench 75 blending Nikka Coffey Gin with sparkling sake and honey, the Artichoke Julep combining bourbon with Cynar and black pepper, and the Uplifted Morning Glory of Nikka Whisky with apple cider and absinthe. The bar draws both regulars and pilgrims seeking unique drinks crafted from fine spirits and distinctive Japanese ingredients.
