About EL FUJIYAMA

Everyone, welcome to EL FUJIYAMA website
We opened this small bar at a time when mezcals were still little known in Japan, and last June marked our 10th anniversary.

One of our main concepts is "Maquillaje Al Maguey(Makeup to Agave)".

"Maquillaje Al Maguey(Makeup To Agave)."
"If you love real Mezcals, you will like our drinks"

First of all, this is a bar that focuses on mezcals, traditional handcrafted spirits from Mexico. With some exceptions, we do not sell alcoholic beverages other than mezcals and tequilas.

Regarding mezcals, we do not carry commercial brands that have become widely distributed as a result of recent global trends.
Connoisseurs who don't know much about agave varieties or the tradition, history, or background of mezcals may think of mezcal as a smoky drink.
However, we do not handle anything that is too smoky or too alcohol acidic.

Mainly in recent trends, mezcal is an alcoholic beverage that is often enjoyed as a cocktail, but to begin with, mezcals have been enjoyed straight.
Mezcals are the concentrated essences of agaves sometimes grown in the wild for over 25 years. Of course, to enjoy them in a cocktail is one way, but for example, would you drink a high-quality whiskey that has been aged for 25 years as a cocktail?

With this in mind, we have set the following rules for ourselves in order to show respect for agaves, producers, history and tradition when serving mezcalsin cocktails.

"Promises"

①We basically do not use any alcohol other than our homemade infused liquor made with mezcals and tequilas. Because we don’ t want to mix other alcohols with agave spirits. And we also do not use any white sugar, because its sharp tasete can overwhelm the flavor of mezcals. Instead, we use agave syrup. In the sameway, we use organic materials with no additives whenever possible.

②Typically, we use at least 2 ounces(and sometimes 3 ounses) of mezcals or tequilas per a cocktail. Therefore, it is best to assume that the most of our cocktails have a high alcohol content. This is because we aim to highlight the individuality of each agave in each cocktail, which makes our cocktails different from ones in which mezcals are used just for one of elements.

③We don't use industrial mezcal or overly commercial mezcal. We only use high-quality mezcals in our cocktails, ensuring that each agave's unique character is expressed. Therefore, in many cases, our cocktails may seem a little different from the mezcal cocktails you are used to.
If you're just looking for merely delicious cocktails, Authentic and modern bars in Tokyo are filled with skilled bartenders. We would be happy to introduce them to you.

Anyway, let us talk about why mezcal later again. It was a long story to get there. We want to share our discoveries, experiences, and excitement. We hope that you can enjoy the uniqueness of this wonderful alcoholic beverage in a variety of ways. Thanks.

"We have privates stock bottles as well"

Actually, we are importing some brands of mezcals and tequilas. And we also had LA MEDIDA mezcal to provide our private stock bottles, called "Koty's selection for Japan", with their help and passion.

Note

①As we run this tiny bar and make cocktails alone and try to use the freshest ingredients as much as we can, it can take a time to make cocktails. Especially when multiple complex cocktails are ordered, when multiple customers order at the same time, or when it is crowded and there is not enough time to wash and prepare drinks, there is often no choice but to keep you waiting. Please be careful if you have any upcoming plans.

②As is common in tiny bars in Japan, we charge a “cover charge” of 770 yen per person. This will be used to maintain this small bar and prepare various things except for bottles and ingredients to welcome you all.

Menu

*770 yen cover charge per preson will be added.

*Because of being one person operation and all the cocktails are from scratch, it takes time to make cocktails sometimes. So please make sure that you have enough time.

*The bar is very tiny and we just can offer the seats for customers up to 4 persons in a group. So please come with smaller number of people, if you can.
