Shot Bar ゾートロープ

Introduction

Nestled in the vibrant city of Nishishinjuku, Tokyo, "Shot Bar Zoetrope" is a unique gem for whisky enthusiasts and film buffs alike. Located on the third floor of the Gaia Building, this intimate bar offers an impressive selection of Japanese whiskies, from well-known brands to rare finds. The owner, Atsushi Horigami, is a connoisseur of both whisky and film, thus the bar's name, Zoetrope, a device that produces the illusion of motion from a rapid succession of static pictures. Horigami's love for silent films and animation is evident in the bar's atmosphere, where classic films are often projected on the wall, offering patrons a visual treat as they savor their drinks. Visitors can expect a warm, welcoming ambiance, with Horigami often engaging in conversations about whisky and film. Despite its compact size, Shot Bar Zoetrope's charm lies in its unique blend of Japanese hospitality, carefully curated whisky collection, and the passion for cinema that permeates the air. This bar is not just a place to drink, but a destination to experience a slice of Tokyo's diverse culture.
