The Koji Club

Tucked onto Brighton’s Western Avenue, the compact room takes design cues from Ginza’s hidden spots, staying intimate without feeling pinched. The focus here is sake education stripped of pretension: bartenders lean into guiding both novices and connoisseurs through unfamiliar bottles, backed by occasional events with visiting Japanese brewers. The counter complements the pours with specific bar bites, including mini onigiri and green pepper miso cream cheese Saltines.
