A bar worth going out of your way to visit!
Shoreditch, East London, is an area that is abuzz with creative energy day and night.
However, Gento Torigata's bar "Waltz" is located in a quiet corner off the busy main street.
This is because he wanted to create a bar that guests would "come for.
While the bar has a distinctly Japanese flavor, it does not have the stiffness that is often associated with Japanese bars.
Our goal was to create a friendly atmosphere where people can enjoy a drink in a relaxed atmosphere.
