Great tunes and expertly mixed cocktails have seen this place gallop to the front of Dubai’s crowded going-out scene. More popular for its sake and craft beers than for its Japanese fare, the focal point is the huge tree that towers out of the centre of the open-plan terrace. Serious mood lighting and geisha-inspired artwork seal a Tokyo show-era vibe.
Note that Wednesday is ladies' night and is generally packed, with the bar area transforming into a dance floor.
