About this place
Descending the stairs from the Shirokanedai street level reveals a tranquil counter space removed from the outside bustle. The first things to catch the eye at NEW CLASSIC are the seasonal fruits displayed before the guests. Classic templates like the Fruit Gin Tonic, Fruit Martini, and Fruit Champagne are enlivened with fresh seasonal juices, allowing guests to consult the bartender and choose an opening drink tailored to the day's arrivals and personal tastes.
The bar's namesake creations are equally noteworthy. Glassware highlights intricate aromatic design, including Cold Extraction—original house spirits infused with the flavors of diverse ingredients—and cocktails made with Japanese bitters. For those taking a break from alcohol, non-alcoholic options blend house-made syrups, fresh fruit, and bases dealcoholized in a still, making it easy to enjoy the bar's ambiance without hesitation.
Scotch and Japanese whiskies share the shelf with classic Bordeaux and Burgundy wines served by the glass, encouraging unhurried conversations about preferred flavor profiles and distilleries as the evening unfolds. Accompanied by snacks such as cheese and house-made sablés pairing apple with Parmigiano, it is a dependable spot to settle in with a glass from 16:00 in the evening until 2:00 late at night.
