About Goût de Jaune
Goût de Jaune is a Tokyo venue with evening and late-night hours on weekdays. It opens at 5 PM Monday through Saturday, runs until 1 AM Monday through Friday, closes earlier on Saturday at 11 PM, is closed on Sunday. Dress code is smart casual.
Its recognition includes Star Wine List (2026). Beyond that, public details are limited, so avoid building expectations around a specific menu format, seating setup, food offering, beverage program, or service style unless you confirm directly with the venue.
A better fit for a focused evening than an unplanned stop
Goût de Jaune is easiest to shortlist when the priority is an evening visit in Tokyo and the schedule matches its posted hours. Weeknights offer the latest window, with service listed until 1 AM from Monday through Friday. Saturday is more limited, Sunday is not an option.
Because the available information is lean, treat this as a targeted choice rather than an all-purpose recommendation. The grounded reasons to consider it are its Tokyo location, smart-casual dress code, late weekday hours, Star Wine List (2026) recognition. For current details on reservations, menu, seating, or availability, check with the venue directly.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Goût de Jaune is a compact, basement wine bar that prizes depth over breadth. The 13-seat room is intentionally cosy and quietly elegant, trading visual spectacle for focused, personal service. Because the entire experience is compact and direct—there is literally no buffer between the person pouring and the person drinking—the mood is intimate and conversational. The bar’s single-region focus on Jura creates a thoughtful, sophisticated tone: this is a place where close listening and careful tasting are rewarded, and where the room’s small scale makes every interaction feel deliberate and considered.
Best For
This is a specialist spot best suited to an attentive evening: date nights, special occasions, and anyone interested in a deep dive into Jura wines. The bar’s underground location and limited seating mean it isn’t for casual drop-ins; rather, it favors small parties or solo visitors seeking an instructive, personalized tasting experience. Reservations or a clear intent to engage with the wine program are sensible; the setting rewards guests who come ready to learn and converse with knowledgeable staff in a quietly refined environment.
Ordering Tips
Come prepared to engage with Jura rather than picking at random. The description emphasizes that the bar will teach you if you lack the reference, so signal whether you want explanation or prefer recommendations and let the staff guide you. Booking ahead is advisable given the 13-seat capacity and the bar’s tendency to self-select its audience. If you already know Jura, mention bottles or styles you like to start the conversation at a higher level; if you don’t, be open to tasting and to the staff’s curated approach.

Bar context
How it compares in Tokyo
Choose Goût de Jaune when the night is wine-first and conversation-led. Spotted Stone is the cleaner alternative if the group wants cocktails, especially Japanese craft gin, while NiNi Bar is the better cross-shop when the priority is simply finding another Tokyo bar option without committing to a wine-led format.
For ambience, Orchid Bar, Starlight, The Capitol Bar read as stronger choices when the room itself is part of the plan. Goût de Jaune is the more specific recommendation for a two-person evening where the list matters more than the setting. Booking difficulty is marked easy, so it is also a practical fallback when a tighter Tokyo cocktail plan is not coming together.
