01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Red wine, apple, orange and raspberry pulp come together in the hot sangria, finished with homemade ginger syrup. Cinnamon and clove add warmth to the fruit, making it a tempting choice for a slow evening drink. The listed price is 1,100 yen.

Another winter recommendation at Gorilla Bar is Honey Ginger Plum Tea (900 yen), combining plum wine and rooibos tea with honey and homemade ginger syrup. For a different flavour, there is Honey Ginger Milk Tea (900 yen), made with black tea vodka, and hot chocolate (1,200 yen) with dark rum, cream and roasted almonds, using chocolate with 50% cacao. The hot chocolate can also be made without alcohol.

Some diners have praised the black tea vodka, while others have enjoyed flavoured spirits such as cinnamon-infused whisky and pineapple gin. Gorilla Bar offers a chance to explore different ingredient pairings, alongside beer, wine and other drinks. It is in Chuo 4-chome.
