It's a good thing their old joint in Musashi Koyama was right near our 'hood or we never would have found them. This used to be our local. Then they moved and now we have no real local. Perhaps we're better off for it, but it doesn't feel like it.

The new joint is very like the old one in feel except for it's very, very narrow. Narrow even for Tokyo. It's maybe the narrowest bar you've ever been to. Even so, as Tokyo DJ bars go, this one is a double plus winner.

Your hosts, husband and wife Kinaya and Tomo, will take fine care of you. Kinaya most often behind the decks and Tomo serving the drinks with love and one of the best smiles in town. Given the name of the venue, you probably already know that you can expect to hear sweet soul and power funk and anything at all related, so it's all good. The video screen behind the bar will show you Soul Train footage that'll make you wish it was 1976. Ohio as in Ohio Players.
