Ryo Segawa has a résumé as broad as it is deep, with stints in a gin bar, a flair bar and The Sailing Bar, a celebrated former member’s club in rural Nara Prefecture, so when he opened his own spot in 2021, it was to some fanfare. Segawa meshes the best of his past, throwing drinks with flair panache, serving an award-winning Aviation riff from The Sailing Bar and assembling a 150-strong collection of gins in a plush room furnished with antique blue-leather armchairs and an ever-swinging pendulum. Since he advertises a 5 a.m. finish—and often overruns—this is the new favorite after-hours hangout for Kita Shinchi’s elite bartenders, chefs and hospitality workers.
