Glocal

Founded as a way to help introduce foreign visitors to the often overlooked world of shochu, creating a bridge between the local community and its international guests, Bar Glocal is so much more than just a bar: it’s a Kumamoto institution. Owner Nori hails from the nearby volcano dotted town of Kagoshima, by way of a stint living in Australia, but now calls the city of Kumamoto home. The bar regularly hosts special international nights and shochu tasting experiences, so no matter your nationality or Japanese booze knowledge you’ll be welcomed with open arms.
