A Japanese-style cigar and whisky bar hidden down a Linsen North Road 條通 lane — marble counter, low light, cocktails and cigars until 3 or 4am. Closed Sundays and Mondays; reservations and full buy-outs are the house norm.
Kumo to Kiri sits on the ground floor of No. 46, down Lane 133 off Linsen North Road — the 條通 grid of Japanese-style bars, hostess clubs, and late kitchens that runs north from Zhongshan MRT. It's a cigar bar first: cigars and cocktails over whisky, in the mould of a Japanese "gentleman's bar," which in this district means a small counter-led room where the service is as much the point as the pour.
The bar's own Instagram (@kumosakura2022_cigarbar, also @kumo_sakura) leans into that — a marble-fronted counter, deliberately low lighting, a dark restrained palette, the room framed as a pocket sealed off from the alley outside. Its tagline, 「款待與自在之間，藏著品味的溫度」, sits somewhere between hospitality and ease. The stated approach to the menu is loose rather than doctrinaire: one post puts it as 味蕾的探索與體驗 — taste exploration over strict categories — so expect staff to steer you toward a pairing rather than hand you a rulebook. The specific whisky and cigar lists aren't published online; ask at the counter.
Who runs it
The face of the bar is store manager 孫振 (Alex), profiled in early 2026 for the 創業之星 entrepreneur interview series, where the venue is framed around cigar culture, cocktail craft, and the room's design — space, mood, and service treated as one piece. Source: 創業之星 — 雲霧．櫻 Kumo to Kiri
Practicals
It's a late room and a mid-week-to-weekend one: Tuesday to Thursday 9pm–3am, Friday and Saturday until 4am, closed Sunday and Monday. Reservations and full buy-outs are openly offered (line: 02.2523.6661), and the bar turns up in 條通 bar-crawl passports and hosts the occasional live-singer night — worth checking their Instagram before you go, since programming and any cover shift week to week. Cigar strength, pairings, and pricing are best settled at the counter rather than from a menu online.
