A series of bars in Yokohama where women go alone to enjoy a beautiful cup♡ This time, we will introduce Yokohama Bay Hotel Tokyu, where you can go from "Minatomirai Station" without getting wet in the rain or snow without going outside in the cold. To the bar "Jack's" on the second floor.

The entrance to the bar is behind this wall. (The door is closed when closed)

This logo is a landmark, which is the image of the "11 (Jack)" face card of playing cards, which is also the origin of the name of the bar "Jacks".

When you step into the store, you will find a counter, sofa, and table seats in the spacious store, and a very chic and high-quality space with indirect lighting that creates a stylish interior.

The dekiru men show up night after night, exchanging greetings as they take their seats...I instantly imagined such an atmosphere in my mind. I aimed for a counter seat.

Mr. Tsuhira, the bartender who won the bronze medal at the Yokohama Cocktail Competition two years in a row in 2016 and 2017, was waiting for me there. "Irasshaimase" was greeted with a smile, and the warm atmosphere relieved my tension. I asked for a recommended cocktail and immediately made the first one.

Shake yogurt liqueur, violet liqueur, peach liqueur, and grapefruit juice. Mixed with my favorite champagne, and finished with grenadine syrup (a syrup made from pomegranate juice and sugar), this is a glass of Silent Snow.

It is completed by decorating with a star-shaped lemon peel to create a Christmas feeling ♡ A beautiful and romantic cup that looks like snow has piled up on the glass, Mr. Tsuhira said, It seems that it is a cocktail limited to December 2017, which was originally conceived with the image of "the scent of". Since it is mixed with champagne, it has a refreshing yet moderately sweet taste, and is recommended as an aperitif or after-dinner drink. Women who don't drink too much should also enjoy it!

In addition to the face of an authentic bar, JACCS has another face. It is the only place in Minatomirai where you can taste cigars. Yes, it is also a “cigar bar”.

Jack's only offers Havana cigars, which are said to be of the highest quality and are fragrance-free. Recently, there are some female customers who like cigars... For those who say, "It's my first time, but I want to enjoy the scent for a while," the bartender will give you a detailed lecture, so please try it.

I drank "Silent Snow" in no time, and went to the annual second drink. When I was wondering what to order, Mr. Tsuhira asked, "What kind of alcohol do you like?"

This is the second cocktail "Bamboo" made for me. A cup of crisp and clear taste using dry sherry and dry vermouth.

When I asked you about the movement of using a spoon to stir the ice, which you carefully do when making cocktails from a while ago...

“This kind of light stirring with a spoon is called 'stir.' Before making a cocktail, first put water and ice in a shaker and rinse the frost on the ice with water. After throwing away the water, the ice cubes with the corners removed are used to add alcohol to make cocktails, and the bartender's skill is to show off how cold the cocktails are and how well they can be made without becoming watery. Preparing the ice is very important.Also, when you stir, the back of the spoon doesn't touch the glass... it's important to be able to move it without making a clattering sound," says Tsuhira. The bartender's movements are really beautiful without any waste. wonderful!

By the way, I was shown an interesting thing while eating "Bamboo". Suddenly Mr. Tsuhira took out a dice cup containing five dice. What the hell is going to happen now~!?

I used the counter to move the dice cup left and right!

The moment I lifted the dice cup, I unintentionally shouted, “Amazing!” All 5 dice stacked in a row!!!!!

Actually, this is not magic, but a famous technique called "dice stacking" using dice. Mr. Tsuhira also learned from a senior bartender and practiced many times. As a bartender, it's a practice to make your wrists flexible, and it's also a practice to understand how liquids move when you shake a shaker. In the past, it was often displayed at the counter, and customers seemed to enjoy it. It is a practice method that has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is also a performance that entertains customers.

At "Jacks", which is full of chic and luxury such as a spacious interior, delicious sake, Havana cigars and dice stacking, you can also enjoy a wonderful time with live piano music.

Its name is “Weekend Special Live”. Only on Fridays, Saturdays, and national holidays, there will be four stages (30 minutes each) per day.
(from 20:00 / from 21:00 / from 22:00 / from 23:00)

The entrance of the bar is decorated with various award-winning records of the proud bartenders of "Jacks".

Of course, you will also receive a certificate when you won the bronze medal at Mr. Tsuhira's "Yokohama Cocktail Competition"!

"A hotel bar might be too high for you..." Mr. Tsuhira and his staff will be happy to help you out. Even if you can't order sake cool, it's okay (I've experienced it myself!). At the counter where you can always keep an eye on all customers, Mr. Tsuhira and the staff will check on you and call out to you at the right time, so you can rest assured! Thank you for your talk! & Good luck with your meal!!
