Score context

Bar D in Fujisawa is Kanagawa craft with Tokyo standards: a suburban counter people detour for. Not a tourist night. Japanese bartending, master on the stick, last-train planning required. Worth it if you're already on the Enoden side of the map.

Guest score details

What guests like

  • Fujisawa / Kanagawa counter with Tokyo-adjacent seriousness.
  • Master-behind-the-stick suburban bartending; locals treat it as the destination.
  • A reason to drink in Shonan instead of riding back to Ginza.

What to know

  • Fujisawa is a commitment from central Tokyo.
  • English-language guest chatter is thin; you go on a tip.
