A Japanese-style gastro bar was the last thing I expected to find at Sindhorn Kempinski, an avant-garde 5-star hotel renowned for its wellness-driven approach and genteel hospitality.
But here I was at Ki Izakaya, for the second time since it opened in February, enjoying its convivial atmosphere among a casual crowd of business execs with their loosened neckties and simply dressed culinary-obsessed barflies.
