Tabelog ratingThe Bar Nano Femto (ザ バー ナノ フェムト) is a tiny, highly-regarded cocktail bar in Sapporo's Susukino district, celebrated for its unique concept of 'liquid dishes'. Here, cocktails are not just drinks but composed creations that showcase Hokkaido's local produce in inventive ways. The bartenders transform ingredients like haskap berries, lavender, mountain wasabi, and even blue cheese into balanced, delicate cocktails.
Guests consistently praise the creativity and artistry of the drinks. Popular orders include the signature Blue Cheese & White Chocolate, the floral Haskap & Lavender, and a savoury-sweet drink made with goat cheese, chestnut, and coffee. Bartenders are noted for being friendly and attentive, often explaining the local origins of the ingredients, and several international visitors have highlighted the welcoming service, with some staff speaking English.
Be aware that this is a very small venue with only about 16 seats, and it can get busy. The cocktails are often described as being on the lighter, more delicate side, akin to liquid desserts, which may not appeal to those seeking high-proof classics. The menu is primarily in Japanese, though staff are happy to assist. Most notably, smoking is permitted inside, which has been a point of concern for some guests.
Reviewers in 2024-2026 reported paying around ¥5,890 to ¥6,160 for two cocktails plus snacks and a cover charge. Individual cocktails are estimated at ¥1,800–¥2,200. A cover charge of around ¥700–¥1,000 per person applies. For the quality of ingredients and originality, most find it excellent value, provided you appreciate the creative, culinary approach.
