Located adjacent to Issho restaurant sits Kori Bar, a glamorous cocktail bar serving up creative drinks, sakes and Japanese spirits until late into the evening. Central to the space is a stunning wrap-around bar decorated with pink cherry blossoms for the ultimate Instagrammable spot. Kori Bar also features a rooftop terrace boasting unbeatable views of Leeds city centre. It's the perfect place to unwind over a drink, relax in the sun or dance away an evening.
The extensive beverage menu showcases Japanese specialities like sake, shojo, whiskey and beers. There is also a special Hana in Bloom cocktail menu featuring a wealth of Japanese spirits and flavours, such as the Kabuki Highball featuring Haku vodka, lychee liqueur, elderflower, strawberry and lime. While an impressive international wine list includes something for everyone. If you’re celebrating a special occasion, why not take a look at the dedicated Tattinger menu which offers top quality fizz by the glass and bottle?
The drinks and view are no doubt the stars of the show. However, if you do fancy something delicious to nibble on, it offers a tasty bar snack menu, along with aperitifs, throughout the week. Choose from a selection of delectable Japanese bites like steamed edamame, yasai tempura, sashimi, maki and nigiri. For those with a sweet tooth, browse the sweet yorokobi menu, available earlier in the day, for a taste of agemochi, matcha cheesecake and yuzu tart, all of which pair perfectly with a selection of green and matcha teas.
For a less traditional afternoon tea, Kori Bar serves an indulgent selection of sushi, sweet treats and loose-leaf Japanese teas. Make it a special treat and add bottomless Prosecco for 90 minutes. All afternoon tea bookings can be made vegan - just mention this to the team beforehand.
