TwentyEight/
Shiodome: Bar
6388-8000
Data
Located in the lobby
of the Conrad Hotel,
TwentyEight is an
oasis of muted mono-
chromes with dis-
crete edges. The
bar's sleek design
displays a tight
graphic crispness,
while linen shades
and leather uphol-
stery in shades of
cream and brown
impart a contrasting
softness. When plan-
ning the interior
for the Conrad, G.A.
Design envisioned a
garden of urban
tranquility, and
TwentyEight, with
its soaring ceil-
ings, angled sky-
lights, and excel-
lent views of Tokyo
Bay, proves to be a
relaxing spot in
Shiodome.
Teatime is popular
here, and the after-
noon tea set (Y3500)
arrives arranged on
a frosted glass
platter like an
assortment of sweet
and savory petit
fours. A miniature
scone with clotted
cream and raspberry
jam is light but
satisfying, as is
the grilled chicken
canape with avocado
cream.
Those in search of
something stronger
than tea can find
signature cocktails
from Y1700 like the
Tei-en, an unusual
combination of vodka
mixed with cucumber,
shiso, kiwi, and
cardamom seed, and
the French 28, a
pleasant champagne-
based number spiked
with Tanqueray and
lime leaf, in addi-
tion to Bombay Sap-
phire martinis
(Y2000). Tapas like
zuwaigani crab cakes
and marinated beef
shins with cucumber
are available after
5:30 (Y2000 for a
set of three).
Dusk is arguably the
best time to visit
TwentyEight; calm
settles over the
space as the sun-
light fades and
votive candles
flicker to life. The
scene gets busier in
the evenings, when
the after-work crowd
rolls in and the
live band strikes
up, but beware the
Y1800 seating charge
after 8pm.
