Review: 

Jazz Room Stick is a unique place, owned by the wonderfully jovial Wariya-san. The room is dominated by the print on the back wall, a photo of fusion-era funky Miles Davis and Jack DeJohnette. Check out the sun-glasses on Miles! On the other wall are numerous under-water photos; Wariya-san is a licensed scuba-diving instructor. The right wall has postcards featuring movie-posters from all of Kurosawa Akira's career. Quite a random and cool mix of decor here..

Wariya-san has a good-sized collection of vinyl behind the bar, though I have noticed that when it gets busy he puts on a mix-cd of jazz "classics". This is fine but on the second listen is a bit disappointing. The atmosphere makes up for it though as the Stick is a lively place, perfect for those times you want to drink and be merry in a jazz joint..and probably get a bit loaded when Wariya-san brings out some of his home-made umeshu (plum wine) on the house..
