Land Bar Artisan

Tokyo, Japan

Daisuke Ito trained under industry titans Hisashi Kishi and Hidetsugu Ueno at the legendary Star Bar Ginza before striking out on his own in 2014. Land Bar Artisan, now in its third incarnation thanks to developers and their knocking balls, is hidden deep inside a gargantuan 1970s complex in the salaryman playground of Shimbashi. The hushed saloon with antique furnishings strikes a brilliant contrast with his gritty environs. Ito is a stickler for the classics, but insiders order his Pantheon, an original creation with Scotch, Benedictine and lemon.
