The first dedicated sake bar is to arrive in Manchester next month. Called Monkey Trio, it will fling open its doors on the Circle Square development, on the site of the former BBC building on Oxford Road.
The bar will be situated at the bottom of the Vita Living North building, and while specialising in sake, it will also sell a host of Japanese whiskies and ‘matcha beers’. It’s among a raft of new openings for Circle Square.
Next to Monkey Trio will be a second branch of Tsujiri, the matcha dessert spot that already has a site on Faulkner Street in Chinatown.
