Tentekomai

Tentekomai is an inviting stop for whisky enthusiasts, lined with bottles that showcase the varied aromatic profiles shaped by distilleries across Scotland. The bar's extensive Scotch whisky selection leans heavily on the Highlands and Speyside, allowing guests to contrast distillation methods and cask maturations side by side.

Among the Highland selections, bottlings steeped in royal heritage such as Royal Lochnagar 12 Year Old and Royal Brackla 12 Year Old catch the eye with notes reminiscent of cinnamon and black tea, balanced by gentle bitterness. The lineup spans an intriguing range from sturdy malts to sweet finishes, including coastal, brine-kissed expressions like Old Pulteney 12 Year Old and Oban 14 Year Old alongside the Sauternes cask finish of Tullibardine.

For those drawn to the fragrant, fruity lineages of Speyside, sherry-cask profiles like The Macallan Double Cask 12 Year Old and Glenfarclas 12 Year Old offer layers of dried-fruit sweetness and spice, while Aberlour 10 Year Old delivers soft vanilla and creamy tones. Whiskies renowned as pivotal blending components, such as Strathisla 12 Year Old, and peated anomalies like BenRiach Curiositas 10 Year Old make choosing the next pour by aroma an engaging pursuit.

Beyond Scotch, the bar also pours beer, wine, cocktails, and other spirits. The relaxed interior suits solo visitors who want to take their time over a glass. With attentive table service and a calm pace, it serves well as a quiet nightcap after work or at the end of an evening wandering Meguro.
