Stopped by for two drinks after dining at Kado no Mise. The dimly lit bar has minimal decor but that matters little.I ordered the old fashioned to start which intriguingly has fig in it. First of all, the cocktail is beautiful. The ice stamp that is used gives it a signature feel. I truly enjoyed this drink.The second drink I had featured cognac which is not a liquor I often consume but I was intrigued by the koji. The ice stamp used in this cocktail was also beautiful.
I've been wanting to come to Gori Gori Peku for so long and I was not disappointed!Came on a Saturday evening around 6:30 before dinner at Kado No Mise. It was pretty busy, but there was room for us at the bar. We both ordered the old fashioned and it was so delicious and perfectly crafted. The blend of whiskeys were so good.I'll definitely be back to try some of their Japanese whiskeys.

Whiskey was fantastic, and I didn't think it was overpriced, as many have claimed. It's the same at any other whiskey or scotch bar, and Gori even allows you to do half pours, which is very nice. Aside from straight whiskey, the Old Fashion was one of the best I've had, very unique and balanced. They do add an extra 20% charge, but they didn't even give us the option of tipping, so that's your tip. Environment is very small but wonderful. I would live there if I were rich.
