01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
An evening here often begins with the aroma of apple and the delicate rise of fine bubbles poured into a glass. Tucked into Kanda Kajicho, Bar & Sidreria Eclipse first lives up to its name by making a diverse lineup of ciders from around the globe the centerpiece of the bar. The collection highlights the wide range of cider styles, spanning Spanish selections like Mayador Sparkling reminiscent of Asturias, domestic bottles like VinVie cider from Nagano, and medium-dry labels from producers in France and the UK.
Standing alongside the cider is an equally striking back bar stocked with around 500 varieties of whisky. Whisky enthusiasts will find plenty to explore, including the house Eclipse Campbeltown Blend, aged single malts, independent bottlings, and mature brandies. Choosing a pour that matches your taste and taking the time to let its aromatic layers unfold makes for a quietly memorable drink.
Cheese and Charcuterie to Complement the Glass
Careful attention is also paid to the bar snacks crafted to complement the drinks. Dishes such as the chef's cheese assortment served with Melba toast and raisins, or a plate of cheese and salami, pair naturally with the bright acidity of cider or the heavier profile of malt whisky. Other savory options invite pairing experiments of their own, from Gunma-cured ham and wagyu beef jerky to house-made raisin butter subtly scented with Calvados apple brandy.
Removed from the bustle of the neighborhood streets, the softly illuminated room offers a quiet place to unwind over a drink. With both counter seats and table arrangements available, it works just as well for solo guests sampling ciders as it does for lingering evening conversations.
