Located at the heart of the sprawling Japan Food Town, Bar Nippon is Singapore’s first bar that specializes in fruit cocktails. The menu is thought up by Japanese mixologist Mizusawa Yasuhiko, who is renowned for concocting fruit-based cocktails at Bar Tiare in Tokyo. Here, the drinks are churned out by Hirofumi Yamamoto, who trained under Mr Yasuhiko for four years. As the bar only works with fresh, quality seasonal fruits like pineapples from Okinawa, red melons from Hokkaido, and Kyoho grapes, the menu changes every three to four months. Each cocktail focuses on just one fruit, to bring out the best of its essence. Most of the cocktails are blended with the special Harenohi sake, which is made with a mixture of both hard and soft water, to achieve a light aroma, balanced body and taste that complements the fruit juices. Besides fresh fruit cocktails, Bar Nippon also offers a unique collection of sake and whiskeys.
