About this place
Located on floor 2 of a building in Koenji-Kita, Bar Mori functions as much as a dining spot as an evening drinking haunt. Tatami seating gives the quiet space an unpretentious, home-style atmosphere where visitors can settle in comfortably.
The food offerings extend well beyond customary bar snacks. Smoked specialties include an assorted smoked platter, smoked quail eggs, smoked takuan radish, and smoked cheese. Japanese pub fare is well represented by seared cured mackerel, monkfish liver in ponzu, and miso-marinated grilled Spanish mackerel. More assertive seasoning shows up in dishes like octopus sauteed in perilla genovese with gold-flake chili oil and Mori's ajillo.
For a more filling meal, noodle options range from Hong Kong-style fried noodles to pastas made with mushroom and anchovy or butter-infused rock laver. Drink choices span Yebisu draft beer, whiskies such as Taketsuru, aged umeshu, wine, and an assortment of cocktails.
Operating Wednesday through Sunday from 18:00 to 1:00 the following morning, the bar accepts seat reservations and PayPay payments. It offers a dependable destination when a night calls for lingering over both good drinks and hearty food.
