Shares Hishii - Hakodate

An excellent small, cozy whisky/ cocktail bar. the owners offered a great bar experience, with old-school elegance, reminiscent of mad men or agata christie. best whisky on the rocks: a single big ice skirt carved by barman to fit the tumbler perfectly, then pour a shot of your favorite single malts to cool slowly and release the taste without watering the drink. the selection is not extensive, but good with Scottish and Japanese malt, as well as American whiskys and bourbon. Of course, they can get their other favorite cocktail there, made with a real dedication to perfection. English is limited so they don't chat with the barkeeper. Instead, they can have an intimate conversation with their companion or just enjoy the moment.

誰にも教えたくないお店。 月替わりのパフェは芸術品のような域に達しており、普通に日本で一番美味しいと言っても全然過言じゃないと思う。素材の良さだけでなく技巧を凝らして一口食べ進むごとに感動があるので毎回驚いてしまう。 バーももちろん素晴らしく、カクテルも店の雰囲気も全てにおいて非の打ち所がない。東京に行ってもなかなかこんなお店はないね。

Exactly what they would expect from a fine cocktail bar in Japanese style. the cocktail menu is not long, it is simple, but very demanding. if they are looking for complicated/innovative cocktails with chic presentation, they should look at this place. if they are looking for classic cocktail with the bartender own interpretation and they like the Japanese bartender attention to detail and elegance. I'm glad I found this hidden gem in a small town. (ps my friend didn't like it as much as I did)

Last summer when I was in Hakodate I decided I could use a few drinks. It was a weekday and it was around 9pm, my options were limited. I stumbled upon this bar on Google and made my way there. I walked inside exhausted from my travels to find that it was a very classy establishment. I was wearing casual American summer clothing and a fanny-pack (don't judge). The bartender welcomed me inside gave me some fancy Japanese snack mix and began making my first drink. As silly as this may sound, watching the bar tender make drinks was like watching Van Gogh paint a picture. Each cocktail took a few minutes and it was beautiful to watch him create. As the night went on I asked him to just make me drinks he enjoyed making, they were all perfect. I wanted to film him but he was so kind and respectful that I couldn't bring myself to make such a request. It's a bit of a shame that I didn't film because I have looked online and I can't find video of anyone on this mans level. This bar was one of the top experiences I had during a one month trip to Japan. I will never forget this place and I will return someday. ありがとう ございました バーテンダー さま!

ずっと行きたかったお店で、昨年10月に訪問。 オーセンティックなバーですが、ちょっと明るめでカタさが無い感じ。 それもあってか、入店時はすでに窓際のテーブルに女性2グループがいた。 後で聞いたのですが、北海道流行の『〆パフェ』で話題になっているらしく、それ目的の女性客グループが多いとの事。 モスコミュールは辛いタイプ、限定の柿のカクテルは絶品でした。 websiteでチェックしていた生ハムもオーダーしたのですが、これが涙が出る程旨い！ これでウィスキーを何杯でも呑めそうです。 生ハム目当てにリピート確定。 一見は口うるさそうなマスターとその奥様も、お話すると優しいお二人で、ゆっくりのんびりの空間に浸れた。 素敵な夜をありがとうございました。
