Venus fort is a mall in Odaiba, has a Caesar's Palace-like interior. Mainly aimed at 15 year-old girls as noted. Also pretty touristy. That's very surprising anyone carries the viridi anne over there, but I suppose that's why it's on sale. Not much else worth seeing over there unless you enjoy very small, man-made beaches and underwhelming replicas of the statue of liberty.

i dont think (from the description of the event) that they "carry" tva in the sense that they stock it seasonally. i think that this is (for whatever reason) is a stand alone sale of old season stock. why it is not happening at the flagship or someone who they are more closely affiliated with...no idea.

Shops aside, can anyone recommend/introduce me to a good speakeasy bar in Tokyo? I mean the bar which doesn't have an online/map presence, usually located behind the kitchen of some kind of fastfood joint etc. I've been in Moscow, London, Paris so I would love to check one in Tokyo. Thanks in advance!

Ben Fiddich - like a speakeasy in that it's the top of a nondescript office buliding in shinjuku, but the bartender is a cocktail genius. He'll mix e.g. an aperol spritz by blending the underlying herbs instead of pouring Aperol out of a bottle. My qualm with the post-Petraske cocktail world is that it's more show than product, they're tilting two bottles, shaking the mixture and you're not walking out without losing a benjamin. Ben Fiddich is like Death&co/Milk&honey/etc. etc. but done properly.
The Open Book - pretty new bar in the Golden Gai, when I went it was just a business card stuck to a wooden door. But they use a hop infusion tap to mix lemon shandys, there are books everywhere, and the bartender's grandfather was the first person to translate Raymond Chandler novels to Japanese. Laid back, awesome, gotta go.
