Sommelier (HonoBono Kissaten, Jimbaran)

Summary

HonoBono Kissa, part of Chontea & Co., brings the nostalgic charm of the Japanese kissaten to Jimbaran. By day it's a relaxed café built around Hotto Keki, Napolitan pasta and manually brewed coffee; by night it becomes an intimate lounge with classic cocktails, premium whiskey and fine wine, set to jazz and vinyl records. It's a place built around slowing down, listening, sipping and savouring.
