Kobayan

Diners have praised the garlic toast, an easy choice whether you are snacking solo or sharing with a group. The menu lists garlic toast made with baguette, and one review notes that it came in 6 pieces. It could be a good place to start, paired with a draft beer or a highball.

Alongside familiar beers and whiskies, the drinks menu includes cocktails with descriptions. There is a mojito with lime and mint, a lemon liqueur topped with soda, and a light Yang Guifei made with lychee and keichu (osmanthus-infused wine). Choose a crisp drink or a sweeter cocktail, depending on your mood.

For a light snack, try the 3 kinds of sausage—plain, cheese and chorizo—or raisin butter with crackers. Kobayan is open Tuesday to Sunday from 18:00 until 2:00 the following day, making it an option for a late-night drink.
