About this place
Start with a glass of Shiga Kogen Beer, then order boiled dumplings to snack on. At BAR Shanks, craft beer and food go hand in hand. Shiga Kogen Beer is listed on draft and in bottles; some visitors have enjoyed a fresh-hop IPA or pale ale. With a choice of beer styles, it’s a good spot for a leisurely evening drink.
Diners who have tried the handmade boiled dumplings mention their chewy wrappers and the kick of chilli oil. Others have enjoyed oden or curry, so there are options ranging from light snacks to more substantial dishes. The menu also lists a smoky potato salad with iburigakko (smoked pickled daikon) and chicken liver mousse served with rye bread. These make appealing bites to enjoy alongside a beer.
Cocktails showcase distinctive ingredients, from a mojito made with spearmint and lime to one featuring Japanese grapefruit. There’s a broad choice of drinks and food at this Sangubashi Station-front bar, on the 2 floor of the building.
