Satin Doll jazz club, located near Roppongi station in Tokyo, Japan (website, map). Note: Satin Doll has permanently closed.
Satin Doll is a legendary jazz bar in Tokyo with a long history of pairing delectable French cuisine with high-quality jazz events. The case is made right upon entering and viewing their foyer window, which reads “JAZZ ET CUISINE FRANÇAISE, SATIN DOLL, SINCE 1974”.
Following through on this promise gracefully, Satin Doll offers a spacious and comfortable dining-with-jazz atmosphere, albeit with a higher-than-average cost which comes along naturally with the elegant atmosphere and sophisticated shows and menu, not to mention the club’s prime location in a popular and expensive location.
Originally established in 1974 in Kobe, Japan (often mentioned as the birthplace of jazz in Japan), this elegant club does a great job of supplying high-quality jazz with a matching atmosphere to balance the busy nightlife district of Roppongi.
