After a long day at work, there's nothing better than enjoying a drink with a few close friends. I had previously seen Travel Bar’s website featuring Hong Kong’s rooftop bars, but with the unpredictable weather—sunny one moment, rainy the next, and quite hot lately—I figured an indoor bar would be a better choice. A PR friend recently recommended a newly opened bar in Central that specializes in Japanese-Peruvian cuisine and has unique bar snacks, so I decided to check it out.
The bar is called TokyoLima, open for about seven months, located on Bailey Street in Central, on the ground floor of a commercial building, giving off a rather mysterious vibe. As you walk in, you’re greeted by the bar area, which has a stylish decor—especially the counter, which I really liked.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to try their Japanese-Peruvian dishes this time, only ordering some drinks. Based on the bartender’s recommendation, my friend ordered their signature cocktail, the Smoking Gun. Made with gin infused with Chinese Zhengshan Xiaozhong black tea and chocolate bitters, it’s visually appealing and tastes great too.
As for me? I went with my favorite martini. I love martinis because they’re so versatile, with different variations bringing out unique flavors. Their house-recommended Sake Martini blends Takizawa Tokujo sake, lemon vodka, and orange blossom water, offering a subtle fragrance and a delightful taste.
