jazz & bar PIA — Restaurant in Aomori

I don't normally write reviews, but when it comes to an exceptional, personal experience I feel the need to share details of familiarity that others with the same passion may appreciate.

First of all, music transcends beyond the five senses for me. I can't explain the science of it all upfront, but it provides a basis of feeling and enchantment when listening to certain types of songs, sounds, or genres. Venues and presentation also play a big factor and definitely matter.

This leads to my second point. A jazz bar far away from home with an EXCEPTIONAL vintage sound system was a surprise bonus. I won't spoil the details of it all because I was blown away after my first visit here and want the readers to experience it for themselves. I came here expecting good drinks and music, however, I received an enhanced evening of a curated playlist based on my beverage selections accompanied by High-Fidelity sound. Again, I won't spoil the gear this man has. Something about the sound definitely made an impact. I had to do my homework before leaving and then coming back. I walked around the place, both inside and out, and took notes. Snacks were also provided throughout the night!

Lastly, I was so enamored by this joint that I asked my wife to accompany me for a spontaneous second trip back during our 3 day stay in Aomori. My first night as mentioned above ended up very memorable; I didn't realize it was cash only so I had to make arrangements to pay my bill when the owner was closing up early for the night. Patrons: Bring cash, PLEASE! For now, at least. I'm sure he will appreciate the recommendation. I even discussed the comical turn of events with the owner about the whole ordeal when I returned, so pass it on to him that I am forever doing my part to make amends! Thanks again to my wife and daughter for accommodating my late night.

Do take advantage of the owners extensive collection and expertise. I'm pretty sure he has some rare albums in both vinyl and CD format from what I saw. I just didn't have enough time to inquire about it all since I ended up chatting with a local and exchanged drinks and conversation about subjects relating to life, music and piano.

The decor was very welcoming and comforting especially after a long day of being a tourist. Again, the sound system is what brought me back a second night with my wife. She knows how passionate I am when it comes to gear and how music is presented, otherwise she wouldn't have come with me my subsequent visit. I plan on making this spot a destination whenever I come to Japan. I feel like it is the standard without the hustle and bustle of the bigger-city-jazz-club vibe scene.

Thank you jazz & bar PIA for an intimate and memorable experience. I wish to come back soon!

普段はレビューを書きませんが、特別な個人的な体験となると、同じ情熱を持つ他の人にも共感してもらえるような、親しみやすさを詳しく共有したいという気持ちになります。

まず第一に、私にとって音楽は五感を超越するものです。音楽の科学的な側面を最初から全て説明することはできませんが、特定の種類の曲、サウンド、ジャンルを聴く際に、音楽は感情や魅惑の基盤を与えてくれます。会場やプレゼンテーションも重要な要素であり、間違いなく重要です。

これが2つ目のポイントにつながります。自宅から遠く離れたジャズバーに、並外れたヴィンテージサウンドシステムを備えたサウンドシステムがあるのは、驚きの特典でした。初めて訪れた際に衝撃を受けたので、詳細は伏せますが、読者の皆さんにもぜひご自身で体験していただきたいです。美味しいドリンクと音楽を期待してここに来ましたが、実際には、私が選んだドリンクに基づいて厳選されたプレイリストとハイファイサウンドで、より充実した夜を過ごすことができました。繰り返しますが、この男性が所有する機材については伏せておきます。サウンドには、確かにインパクトがありました。 出発前と帰ってくる前に宿題をやらなければなりませんでした。店内と店外を歩き回り、メモを取りました。夜中ずっと軽食も提供されていました！

最後に、この店にすっかり魅了され、青森での3日間の滞在中に、妻を誘って2度目の訪問をしました。前述の通り、最初の夜はとても思い出深いものになりました。現金のみの支払いだとは知らず、オーナーが早めに閉店する時間に会計の手配をしなければなりませんでした。常連客の皆さん、お願いです！少なくとも今は現金をお持ちください。きっと彼もこの勧めに感謝してくれるでしょう。帰ってきた後、オーナーにこの滑稽な出来事について話したので、この件をオーナーに伝えて、これからも償いの気持ちで頑張っていきます！深夜の夜を快く受け入れてくれた妻と娘に改めて感謝します。

オーナーの豊富なコレクションと専門知識をぜひご活用ください。...

GREAT jazz bar and excellent drinks. Moscow Mule is magnificent. The owner knows jazz extremely well and has a huge record collection. I speak Japanese fairly well and the menu is in Japanese, but he’d probably work with you if English is your only choice. Most of the jazz artists and drink names are...

Awesome cozy ambiance, beautiful bar, bartender is a kind man a little secluded but has a wonderful vinyl and CD collection. Professional setup as well. Relatively...
