Mokkos Lamu

Shanghai


Hidden away on a residential side street, Mokkos is a long-running local fave that specialises in nothing but shōchū (a Japanese spirit). Intimate and cheerful, drinkers sit on stools around the curved bar lined with large, aesthetically pleasing shōchū bottles. There's a choice of wheat, rice or potato varieties. Cash only.

There's a guitar on the wall for regular impromptu jams.
