This small, stylish karaoke bar, decorated in contemporary red and black Japanese design motifs, offers reasonably priced (£7) oriental-themed cocktails such as a Lucky Destiny (vodka, cucumber, mint, kiwi, pressed apple juice) or an Otzu Spice (saké and apple schnapps mixed with sticky ginger apple jam and ginger). Saké and shochu are sold by the bottle. The karaoke pods have no stage and are very cramped, but there’s an extensive playlist; friendly staff bring the drinks to you. The oriental snacks (bento boxes, vegetable gyoza) are not sensational, but work well enough.
