Bar Untouchables






Tucked away in an alleyway hidden from the madness of Shanghai and only marked by a red light above its door is the Bar Untouchable where Japanese businessmen come to sip the finest cocktails known to man and listen to the Cotton Club Jazz popular during the 1930s, when Shanghai was in another heyday of sorts. A Japanese man who wears a white tuxedo and won the best bartender of Japan serves up classic cocktails and his originals. It was here that I witnessed the ritual exchange of business cards among Japanese businessmen, each bowing lower than the other.
