Our Logo
Our logo is designed by a Japanese designer along with the Mizunara team and brings together shapes and colors reminiscent of Japan and Japanese culture. The floral pattern captures the delicate intricacies and subtleties involved in hospitality and creativity combined with strong strokes and vibrant colors demonstrating inner strength & perseverance.
Our Name
Mizunara is the unique Japanese Oak that is largely used in Japan for maturing Whisky. Whisky matured in Mizunara barrels loses an exceptional amount of water through evaporation, making for a much more condensed final product. The incense and sandalwood aromas they impart to Japanese Whisky make it so unique.
In our name, MIZUNARA captures our Japanese essence in striving for perfection every day in what we do, while delivering a unique experience for our customers.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is inspired by three simple concepts from Japanese culture:
SADOU
The Way of Tea
ICHIGO ICHIE
Treasure Every Encounter
OMOTENASHI
Wholehearted Hospitality
We believe these values reflect the essence of our bar, creating moments of genuine connection, hospitality, and excellence for every guest.
