Frozen coffee with Ron Zacapa, prawn curry and coffee pudding are actual choices. Tomoaki Nakamura's selection plays through AR-3a/JBL 4318 speakers and Technics decks in the small fifth-floor room.
Choose the evening by its DJ or musical sequence and listen alongside coffee or a drink. Read the dated seated programme rather than expecting a fixed nightly performance.

BAR MUSIC occupies Susa Building's fifth floor on Dogenzaka. Selector and music writer Tomoaki Nakamura opened it in 2010 and also runs MUSICAÄNOSSA. Silver's on-site interview describes turntables by the entrance, a bar surrounded by records and CDs, and antique tables farther inside: the front suits close listening, the tables leave more room for conversation.
Its documented equipment includes Acoustic Research AR-3a and JBL 4318 speakers and Technics SL-1200MK3 turntables. Nakamura's illustrative selections—João Gilberto's 'Farolito', Duval Timothy's 'Wood' and Pharoah Sanders' 'Ocean Song'—give the genre-crossing idea actual sound. The Coffee Bell cocktail pours Ron Zacapa rum over frozen coffee associated with his family's Nakamuraya café in Hiroshima. House-roasted coffee offers a non-alcoholic route; the operator also lists spicy prawn curry, house cheesecake and coffee pudding.
WHERE · On foot from here
Which side of the station, and how far
West of Shibuya Station, about 200 m in a straight line from the station area. The position is the official address point and may differ from the entrance. The shaded areas are about 5 and 10 minutes on foot from here.
Walking bands are computed by FOW on the OpenStreetMap surface street network at 80 m/min and drawn as a smoothed approximate area around the streets reached. They ignore exit positions, station interiors, underground passages, signals, slopes and routes inside buildings — not directions; follow on-site signs.

Choosing an evening
Choose a programme through its musical direction. Start with the sounds you enjoy—bossa nova, jazz or contemporary piano—then compare an artist’s public mixes with the official schedule. The front suits closer listening; tables farther inside leave more room for conversation.
