Shochu Lounge says:

The sexy, subterranean Shochu Lounge serves Japanese influenced cocktails and shochu spirits, together with the full menu from Roka, the award winning restaurant upstairs. Unlike its upstairs sister restaurant, Shochu Lounge offers a completely different dining experience. Dark wood, low lighting and deep red upholstery create a soft and cosseted atmosphere in which to enjoy a full meal or just some mellow drinks with friends. The atmosphere is completed by the chill-out and world beats that help soothe the grown-up, groomed and discerning clientele. Dating from the 14th century, shochu is the most popular spirit within Japan, yet remains a relative newcomer to the international stage. Shochu Lounge customises its own from barley and is the first place in Europe to infuse this using a myriad of ingredients. Ranging in flavour from fruit to herbs and even chocolate, the shochus on offer can be enjoyed on their own, over the specially clarified ice or included in one of the Lounge’s innovative cocktails.
