Shinjuku Donzoko
新宿・どん底
Opened in 1951, Donzoko takes its name from the Japanese title of Russian writer Maxim Gorky’s play“The Lower Depths”, and is a Western-style izakaya that has been frequented by revered historical Japanese cultural icons such as Akira Kurosawa and Yukio Mishima. Its specialty Donzoko Cocktail, also known as “Donkaku”, is a sweet-tasting carbonated blend of lemon juice and gum syrup with shōchū. In this building whose exterior is covered in sprawling ivy, the dreams of the young revelers of decades past still hang heavy in the air.
1951年に誕生した「どん底」は、ロシアの作家マクシム・ゴーリキーの戯曲から取られた店名にふさわしく、三島由紀夫や黒澤明など、日本の歴史を支える多くの文化人に愛されてきた洋風居酒屋です。名物の「どん底カクテル」（通称ドンカク）は、焼酎にレモン汁とガムシロップ、炭酸を加えた甘い口当たり。蔦の絡まる重厚な店内で杯を交わせば、夢を語り合う当時の若者たちの息吹が今も鮮やかに蘇ります。
