A Safe and Sound Lounge
The reopening of Takashima Records on June 18th
At Takashima Records, our number-one goal in reopening is first and foremost the safety of you—our valued guests—and our dedicated staff.
With that in mind, coupled with the inspiration of the tiny bars in Golden Gai, Tokyo, we are recreating the Takashima Records experience with a micro approach. We can still bring the best sounds and flavors, designed around intimacy, comfort, and most importantly a clean environment.
Our space:
Naturally lends itself to a responsible, semi-private experience
Has seating spread out across our main floor and second-floor balcony
Features booths built from repurposed shipping containers
Our new ticketed experience introduces multi-course dining and drinking, with three services nightly Thursday-Saturday, each 2 hours long. We allow for only a 20-person capacity per seating to ensure proper distancing and safety.
The Takashima Records experience:
Features a vinyl DJ (of course!) bringing the vibes every evening, along with a special set menu to satisfy and gratify
Serves up sashimi plates and other surprise delicacies in multiple courses by Chef Chris Krzysik
Stirs up five signature cocktails by Bar Manager Tai Nalewajkó, who has also procured the best sake, wine, and beer selections to take the food and the sounds to the next level
Each seating is $125 per person (beverages included; tax and gratuity not included). Reservations required; book online here.
While you’re here, we’ll be:
Thoroughly cleaning all high touch surfaces every 30 minutes with EPA approved disinfectant
requiring all staff to wear PPE and taking temperatures daily upon arrival
minimizing face to face contact
restricting the n umber of employees and guests in our space
providing hand sanitizer for all tables and hand sanitizing stations throughout the space
cleaning the entirety of the space between seatings
We thank you in advance for your support and patience as we navigate this new experience—and we look forward to serving you soon.
