01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Seasonal fresh fruit cocktails are poured under softly dimmed lighting into clear glassware. Tucked into the quiet residential streets of Meguro Mita, Panacee takes its name from the French word for panacea, offering an authentic bar setting designed to unwind after the day's commotion. Refreshing fruit concoctions and richer seasonal pours, such as chestnut cocktails, bring out vibrant, natural aromas that immediately put guests at ease.
Hearty Fare Beyond Typical Bar Snacks
The food menu sets the bar apart with dishes that go far beyond standard bar nibbles. The centerpiece is a katsu sandwich made with tender Ozaki beef tenderloin from Miyazaki, celebrated for its concentrated lean-meat flavor and suited to a pour of whisky or wine. The warm Western-style lineup also includes braised wagyu cheek beef stew, mini crab cream croquettes, red-wine beef curry, and a variety of pastas to satisfy larger appetites.
Curated Bottles and Intimate Evenings
The wine list features by-the-glass pours of Burgundy and Bordeaux alongside vintage ports, inviting guests to discuss preferences across the counter. Leisurely evenings here often involve fine cigars paired with thoughtful small plates like marbled Kuroge Wagyu jerky, assorted cheeses, or candied chestnuts in their astringent skins. Whether visiting for a nightcap or settling in for an unhurried dinner with top-tier drinks, the bar offers a dependable escape.
