Description
An evolution of its sister bar 929, this space digs into the history of Japanese pop music and its deep influence on Mando-pop and Canto-pop since the 1970s. The room’s soundtrack expands beyond city pop to include 90s and 2000s J-pop, Japanese R&B, and broader pop culture from the Showa and Heisei eras. To drink, the menu features cocktails built around Japanese ingredients, with each creation named after a pop icon whose personality and music inspired the recipe.
