Handsome mixology instruments and elegant glazed ceramic cups will lure you in and toward the back of the store, where you’ll find the good stuff: a fine sake selection, Japanese beers of all varieties, and shrubs for mixing. (In a nook behind that is a veritable convenience store of imported snacks.) On the way, you’ll pass framed prints and plenty more fine design—mainly Japanese with some Scandinavian for extra good measure. Kanpai!
