About The Aubrey

The Aubrey offers three distinct bars that offer culturally rich beverage experiences and channel the whimsical vibe of Japanese izakayas in Ginza. Its shochu-driven cocktails and highballs are complimented by an elevated dining experience created as an ode to high quality Japanese ingredients and traditional cooking techniques.
