The name "CENTIFOLIA" comes from the classic variety of roses, symbolizing the many layers of aroma and flavor. In front of the bar, you will see a mixology show with flames, smoke, aroma, and clarification techniques; glassware, ice shapes, and decorative details are all precisely calculated, and the first, middle, and last stages of the mouth are clearly defined, with elegant twists and turns. The master of ceremonies is an accomplished chef who has won many national competitions and is good at creating new flavors with seasonal ingredients while emphasizing on the classics.
Don't be nervous about your first visit, this place specializes in "customizing" to your liking. Simply tell the bartender your preferred spirit (e.g. gin, whiskey, rum), acidity, sweetness, fruitiness or spice, and you'll get a glass that's "just for tonight".
First-time ordering guide - make your preferences clear and leave the rest to the pros!
- How to start:Start with an appetizing gin or champagne-based cocktail with fruity and floral notes, or if you prefer a chunkier flavor, a whiskey/lamb base is also a good choice.
- Customized keywords:"More citrus, not too sweet," "I want something herbal and refreshing," "Can you make a non-alcoholic version?" -Specify the direction, and the work will be in the right place.
- Two or three cups later:Suggest a change of style, from fresh to spicy, from fruity to woody or smoky, and you'll be able to appreciate the bartender's skill in controlling the flavors.
- You can play without drinking:Non-alcoholic drinks (ノンアルコール) are just as sophisticated and suitable for travelers who don't want to get drunk or have to get up early.
Space and Liturgy - Making Every Seat Comfortable
