Vowz Bar is a unique spot in Shinjuku run by Buddhist monks where you can sip on original cocktails, enjoy vegan temple food, and learn about Japanese Buddhism in a laid-back setting. The cozy bar welcomes all visitors, whether you're a Buddhist or just curious about the religion.

• Monk Bartenders: The bartenders here are real monks, happy to chat about Buddhism or share a lighthearted conversation.

• Themed Cocktails: Try drinks like Enlightenment or Heart Sutra, often with clever Buddhist references.

• Peaceful Ambience: Dim lighting, sutras playing softly in the background, and occasional chanting sessions create a meditative vibe you won’t find at a typical bar.

Menu Highlights

• Nehan (Nirvana) – A sweet, calming liqueur-based cocktail

• Gokuraku (Paradise) – A tropical, fruit-infused drink

• Hot Buddha – A warm, spicy drink perfect for colder nights
