The ambience here at Here Kitty Kitty is really nice and vibrant, and it’s inspired by 1950s Shinjuku Nightlife (the falling autumn leaves added a nice touch too!). I tried several cocktails from their new cocktail menu created by mixologist Gary Mandobon (clockwise from top left).

~Mad Cat (Wild Turkey Rye, Amaro Averna, Campari, Orange Bitters)

~Ume Whisky Sour (Makers Mark, Apricot Liqueur, Ume, Lemon, Egg white)

~Watermelon Sugar (Don Julio Blanco, Cointreau, Lime, Watermelon)

~Sensei’s Old Fashioned (Suntory Kakubin, Laphroig 10, Oleo Saccharum, Aromatic Bitters)

The cocktails that I like are Mad Cat and Ume Whisky Sour. Both are enjoyable in their own respective ways, the Mad Cat has a bold and bittersweet flavour, while the Ume Whisky Sour is citrusy and textured! The Watermelon Sugar, a crowd favourite cocktail from their sister outpost in Las Vegas, will suit those looking for something that’s more fruity and sweet.

By the way, they also serve pretty good ‘Japas’ here too - moreish snacks that combine both Spanish & Japanese in the cooking techniques and ingredients, to go with your drinks!
