Boston offers a bar with Edo cuttings whisky

🍶 The Koji Club: Brighton’s Tiny Bar with Big Flavors (and Fancy Glassware Mysteries) First things first: Can anyone ID that glass in pic 1? 🤔 The owner swears it’s Edo Kiriko (that iconic Japanese cut glass 🌟), but I’m side-eyeing it as kagami (mirror glass) instead. Either way, it’s stunning—sparkly, intricate, and feels way too fancy for my usual drink order. Who cares, though? Sipping from it made the whole experience feel like a little luxury 🥂. 🥃 The Drinks: Worth Breaking a “No Alcohol” Rule For Okay, full confession: My doctor said “no drinking for two weeks” 🩺. But let’s be real—“suggestions,” am I right? 😏 I caved, and wow, no regrets. Tried two standouts: Kikori: Light, silky, and so smooth. It’s like a gentle hug in a glass—subtle, not overpowering, with a hint of sweetness 🍯. Perfect if you prefer milder spirits. Mars Maltage Cosmo: 🔥 This one stole the show. Rich, bold, with a salty-sweet kick (think sea salt + ripe pear 🍐). The depth is incredible—layers of flavor that linger. Honestly, 10/10 for taste—but let’s be real, those glasses? They added 3 whole points. Drinking from something that pretty just hits different ✨. 🍢 The Vibe: Cozy, Compact, Just Right This place is tiny—like, “squeeze past the bar to get to your seat” tiny 🧸. But that’s part of the charm! It’s cozy, not cramped, with a low-key energy that makes you feel like you’re hanging at a friend’s house (if your friend had a killer liquor collection). Food-wise, it’s all simple bar snacks—think edamame or small plates—just enough to soak up the drinks without stealing the spotlight 🍢. 📍 The Deets Location: 525 Western Ave #6, Brighton (easy to get to, even after a long day). Vibe: Great for a low-key date, a post-work unwind, or just geeking out over fancy glassware. Pro Tip: Ask about their rotating sips—they’ve got fun, unique options you won’t find elsewhere. Overall, it’s a gem. Small, but packed with personality (and great drinks). I’m already planning my next visit—doctor’s orders be darned 😜. #BostonBars #SakeAdventures #FancyGlasswareObsessed
