Taking over the former spot of The Bar Kinugawa at Empire Damansara, Iki_ya is an unpretentious little space that encompasses the best of everything Japanese, and makes you feel right at home.

The well-lit bar is lovingly decorated with house plants and is stocked with a decent selection of Japanese gins, as well as shochu and sake which are used as a base for some of their specialist cocktails. Nibble on bar snacks like lightly smoked quail eggs, smoked cheese, or smoked edamame. If you’d prefer something hot and caffeinated late at night, check out their coffee and matcha selections.
