Shell We?
The very first cocktail we created—our origin. Hiroshima's oysters, the sea in a glass. The name is a pun: "Shall we?" meets oyster "Shell." SAKURAO Gin and house-made dashi vinegar. Shall we toast?

AboutV U E L T A
In Hiroshima — where welcome back meets nice to meet you.
1 minute from Chuden-mae, tucked on the 2nd floor of the Kakee Building. A small counter-led space where you can sip seriously crafted cocktails in calm.
VUELTA means reunion, return, cycle in Spanish. We built this place for travellers and locals to meet over a glass — and feel the real Hiroshima.
Food is the Invitation,
People are the Destination.
SAKURAO Gin from Hatsukaichi, Togouchi whisky, Hiroshima lemon, Kamotsuru sake — local spirits and ingredients, fused with bar culture from around the world. Try our signatures: The OKONOMIYAKI (Hiroshima soul food in a glass) and Shell We? (Hiroshima oysters, the sea in a glass).
The cocktail is the means. Connection is the goal.
