Since opening in 2021, Mimi Kakushi has become the jewel in Rikas Group's culinary crown with its sultry Art-Deco interiors and impeccable Japanese menu, but more recently it's the bar that has been getting all the attention. This is in no small part down to bar manager Manja Stankovic, who along with his team has designed a menu of 13 signature cocktails in tribute to singer Kikuchi Shigeya, who is widely credited with introducing American jazz to Japan. Each cocktail is listed on the back of a record, with guests presented the stack to flick through as they take a seat at the horseshoe bar.
