Experience the Essence of Italian Aperitivo in Shinjuku

This summer, immerse yourself in the delightful Italian tradition of aperitivo at the JAM17 BAR, located on the 17th floor of the TOKYU Kabukicho Tower in Shinjuku, operated by HOTEL GROOVE SHINJUKU. From July 3rd to August 28th, every Thursday, guests are invited to enjoy a special buffet-style light meal paired with refreshing drinks and live music during the Thursday aperitivo event.

What is Aperitivo?
Aperitivo is a cherished Italian cultural ritual that revolves around enjoying light snacks and drinks with friends and family before dinner. It’s a time for leisure, conversation, and relaxation. The Thursday aperitivo at JAM17 BAR is designed to mirror this experience, offering guests a vibrant atmosphere where they can savor a broad selection of food and drinks.

Guests can choose from an array of drinks available on the menu, or opt for classic Italian cocktails to fully embrace the Italian vibe. Recommendations include Italian beers, the ever-popular Aperol Spritz, and the quintessential Negroni. Unique cocktails such as the Kabukicho Sling and Flying Mediterranean, along with various mocktails, are also available, ensuring there’s something for every palate. To add a refreshing twist to the evening, every guest enjoys a complimentary glass of Sgroppino—a delicious Italian cocktail made from lemon sorbet mixed with Prosecco and Grappa, perfect for warm summer nights.

Delicious Food Selections
This Thursday aperitivo features a rotating menu of approximately 12 Italian-inspired dishes, ranging from appetizers like salami, cheese, and olives to hearty options such as stone-baked pizzas and slow-cooked dishes. The diverse buffet allows guests to enjoy their meal at a leisurely pace while engaging in delightful conversation.

Dining Experience
At JAM17 BAR, patrons can choose to sit at the bar counter for engaging interactions with the bartenders or enjoy the open-air terrace, making it an ideal location for post-work relaxation or pre-dinner meetups with friends. The cozy ambiance, enhanced by live music, further elevates the dining experience.
