Housed in a smart black & white bungalow on Scotts Road, Bar Kakure encapsulates the idea of omotenashi – the Japanese concept of mindful hospitality. Bartender Kazuhiro Chii presents a menu of classic cocktails, precisely re-imagined and impeccably made. TheBeauty & the Beast, a visually captivating blend of pink grapefruit-infused vodka and edible glitter, is a crowd-pleaser, while the unconventional Yamaoroshi (wasabi-infused gin, white cacao liqueur, cream, fresh wasabi) is a highlight for its beautifully balanced flavours.
The food menu is just as considered; the signature toro katsu – fresh fatty bluefin tuna from Shizuoka coated in charcoal-infused panko – presents a delightful contrast in textures, and is a must-try.
