Engaging Interests

Nihonbashi Club Members find common threads and community through lively special interest groups.

As the Nihonbashi Club membership grows, the mix of passions has become as satisfyingly complex as one of the Muromachi Bar’s signature cocktails. Stir in arts, fitness and a dash of history and you have a rich blend of special interest groups (SIGs) that offer something for everyone.

Where Everybody Knows Your Name

Through innovation and camaraderie, Nihonbashi’s Muromachi Bar is a popular spot for Members from both clubhouses.

“When Members turn the corner and set eyes on it for the first time, they’re immediately struck by the bar’s classic East Coast art deco look and neighborhood feel,” says bartender Dash Mitchell-Moore, standing in the center of the Nihonbashi Club’s iconic Muromachi Bar.

Nihonbashi Club Members’ sense of community doesn’t stop at the doors of the satellite hub.

As a young girl, Kaori Koide dreamed of living in Nihonbashi. Tokyo’s “zero point” and the beating heart of old Edo, Nihonbashi was the starting point for Japan’s five key roads, which funneled people and trade in and out of the future capital.

Recipe for Success
