Kamiya Bar

Kamiya Bar is a bar in Japan. Its official site describes a first-floor bar area, a second-floor restaurant called Restaurant Kamiya, and a shop named Kamiya Bar Baijo facing Kaminarimon-dori that sells original products such as Denki Bran and Kamiya Wine. The site states that the Denki Bran cocktail was created by founder Kamiya Denbee in the Meiji era and has been associated with Asakusa.

According to the official website, the Denki Bran cocktail was created by founder Kamiya Denbee in the Meiji era and is described as a cocktail representative of Asakusa. The site states that roughly 150 years have passed since a cocktail named Denki Bran appeared at Kamiya Bar, and that the name Denki Bran was inspired by the Meiji-era novelty of electricity and by the drink's strength, then 45% alcohol. The site also states that the 'bran' in Denki Bran refers to brandy, the cocktail's base, blended with gin, wine, curaçao, and herbs, with the proportions remaining a secret. It notes that the current Denki Bran is 30% alcohol and Denki Bran <Old> is 40%. The site further states that during the Taisho era, after watching moving pictures in Asakusa Rokku, people enjoyed one or two glasses of Denki Bran for ten sen each, and that Kamiya Bar remains a downtown social gathering place. The site also mentions that Kamiya Bar appears in literature, including a poem by Hagiwara Sakutaro and Miura Tetsuo's 'Shinobugawa'.
