Welcome to Kioku Sake Bar, a Japanese bar tucked away in Whitehall, on the ground floor of The OWO, evoking the essence of Japan. It’s an intimate drinks destination offering a world-class sake programme with the largest sake collection in Europe, and Japanese-inspired cocktails.
Kioku’s bar is as perfect for quick after-work drinks and exquisite cocktails as it is for cosy date nights that last until closing. It’s also a special destination for those who are dining or have dined with us upstairs in our restaurant, but aren’t ready to head home just yet.
There are over 100 types of sake to choose from at Kioku; there are many styles and regional varieties to try. Intuitive advice is happily given to those seeking expert recommendations.
Alongside our Sake selections curated by our Head of Sake, Anthony Yukio, you will discover a host of Japanese-inspired cocktails created by the beverage team, from Yuzu whiskey sours to miso espresso martinis. We of course have low ABV- and alcohol-free options, ensuring everyone can sip something delicious while they soak up the ambience of this incredible bar.
The team at Kioku Sake Bar have curated a sake collection to wholly evoke the memory of sake; an ode to the land, nature and long family history of thousands. Each bottle of sake represents the folklore of ancient Japanese knowledge combined with the new values of today’s younger generation. It is his wish that these sake memories stay alongside you.
There are over 140 sake types to choose from; whether you are new to sake, or wish to discover more, we can help you find varieties you will love.
From innovative cocktails to sake flights and aromatic teas, our drinks menu provides a beverage to enjoy whatever you’re in the mood for.
Carefully crafted small plates complement your drinks choice, with a refined menu of delicate Japanese-infused dishes.
The Kioku Sake Bar is our take on a listening bar in London, taking inspiration from those in Japan. Here, the music sets the mood, and so can you. We invite you to pick the tracks you love while you savour every sip; our guest-curated playlists ensure that no two nights at Kioku Sake Bar are the same.
Those who discover Kioku’s bar are blown away by the attention to detail, with each thoughtful touch adding style and serenity to our carefully curated space. For uniquely intimate drinks, find our tiny booth with closing doors; a secluded, cocoon-like setting for quiet conversations and special moments.
