Smalllest Bar

After completing a bartending course while working part time, Chiharu Ono stepped things up straight away by opening her own joint seven years ago. Setting up a bar without any real behind-the-counter experience was quite the move, but Smalllest Bar (yes, with three Ls) has proved a hit in the Fukagawa area – not least thanks to Ono’s prowess with tequila-based drinks. Her establishment is disarmingly casual, but the booze maintains a very high level.
