バー トタン BAR TOTAN — Restaurant in Fujiyoshida

We wanted to spend an after dinner in a typical japanese place drinking sake, and this place made it all. Reading the reviewes this one seemed to fit our needs. Be prepared, once you get to the place, the outside is not what you would expect. A super small place that looks abandoned, with no signs nor lights on. To check if someone was inside we had to look over the small window from the alley. Anyway, once we entered we found a place with homemade and minimal fornitures, silent, but the perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy. The owner is one of the best person I’ve ever met. We spoke all the time, he made some delicious appetizers and he let us try a very good sake, shuchu and also grappa. Actually the quality was high. The time flew. If you have the opportunity to spend a night in Fujiyoshida, I suggest this place to enjoy a night of relax, nice conversation e good...

Omg what a vibe!!! This isn't a bar for everyone ... But for those seeking a bar that's kinda off the beaten path and a non pretentious speakeasy, look no further, Bar Totan is a place you'll love. It's been been in the same spot as a one man show for the last 28 years and that deserves respect!! The menu is handwritten and the music so eclectic... From the pygmy rhythms from Africa to the mantras of Hinduism to the music of the hmong people of Laos, you'll find it all here. ... So glad to have found this place that we went two out of the 4 nights...

Very very cool place. The owner is full of interesting stories. He decorated this place all by his own hand. Good wine selections too. You can ask the owner to do his own recommended drinks, all taste good. And good Chinese...
