ＢＡＲｔｏｎｂｏ

At BARtonbo, start with the grilled cheese. Diners have ordered it alongside beer, sake and gin with lime, and one review recommends it as a dish to try. The listed menu price for “Grilled Cheese” is 400 yen. Mixed nuts and dried fruit are also available, making for an easy selection when the drinks, rather than a full meal, are the focus.

For something more substantial, there’s ajillo with mushrooms or oil sardines, garlic toast and pizza. The menu also lists mussels simmered in white wine, described as a piping-hot dish served with garlic butter. Choose a few small plates to share, or settle in with a single dish alongside your drinks.

The drinks menu goes beyond cocktails to include wine and whisky. One visitor wrote that they described their preferences and tried two kinds of Scotch; another mentioned choosing Chablis by the glass. Gin and tonic and whiskies including Yamazaki and Yuza also appear among the menu options. A drink chosen to suit your mood or taste can be enjoyed with the cheese and small plates.
