Tight: A bar to call your own

Want a bar that feels like your own private living room? Then try Tight, a bar in Nonbei Yokocho, where no more than 10 of your closest friends can fit.

Though a bit posher than your own place with a chandelier and pink bamboo wallpaper, you’ll settle right in as you pull up a stool and chew the fat with your personal bar tender, Yosuke Kimura.

Try his original recipe -- Earl Grey tea leaves steeped in Stolichnaya vodka. Savor neat or mix with orange juice. Want a more daring drink? Then be brave and try Habu-shu (sake with a snake inside the bottle).

From the huge glass window stare out onto the train tracks. As the packed JR line whizzes past, you’ll realize you don’t need to go anywhere. You’re already home.
