For years I’ve been aiming to go into Sea Guardian II – on the ground floor in the original part of the Hotel New Grand – and last night, I finally made it. It’s a very intimate, classy(in an old-fashioned, overstuffed leather chairs kind of way) lounge-style bar with over-the-top upscale service and somewhat over-the-top prices. If you’re into 30-year-old whiskey at 90,000 yen a class, or if you value incredibly formal, old-fashioned service over reasonable prices, then this is your place. Otherwise, you might want to look elsewhere. Myself? I am glad I finally went but I doubt I’ll be back. Bonus: Non-smoking(as is the whole building outside designated areas).
