Noriaki Tsuboshi, a familiar face from a prominent Sukhumvit Soi 39 izakaya, has opened this intimate watering hole for serious drinkers. Nori’s offers a small snack menu, but the main draw is his list of cocktails, personalized creations, homemade plum wine and Japanese whiskies. Don’t be surprised to find some of Bangkok’s best musicians in there holding impromptu concerts—the talented conductor Trisdee Na Patlung and Kijjazz from the Monotone family are both regular customers and put on instrumentals from time to time.
