Höhle

The appeal of Höhle lies in taking your time over carefully tailored aromas in an unhurried setting. The lounge stocks an extensive selection of flavours, and the staff are happy to consult on custom mixes—pairing watermelon with fresh mint, for example, or blending cassis with guava depending on your mood. Sessions can also be adjusted by duration, offering short or regular bowls, making it just as easy to drop by late at night for a brief, punchy smoke as it is to sit back and savour a gentler, sweet mix for hours.

Illuminated by warm Turkish lamps, the interior features plush sofa seating alongside sunken-style kotatsu tables where you can take off your shoes and settle in. The drinks list ranges from coffee to draft beer, wine, and cocktails, and can be paired with small savoury dishes as well as desserts such as gateau chocolat and cheesecake.

Located on the 3th floor of the Wakasugi Building in Sugamo, the venue provides Wi-Fi and accommodates paper cigarette smoking. Operating from 14:00 through to 3:00 the following morning, it functions as a versatile hideaway for everything from an afternoon pause to quiet late-night conversations.
