The cocktails listed on the menu list are essentially movie titles, with everything from international classics to recently released films, and even Disney and Ghibli.
The staff member himself watches several hundred films a year and is quite knowledgeable about movies.
Therefore, even if a film is not on the menu, you can order a cocktail that matches the image of the film.

The cocktails served range from the spectacular to the simple. There are even luxurious cocktails topped with an abundance of fruits and sweets.
Most of the cocktails are original cocktails designed by the staff, and the recipe may change depending on the bartender you order.
At a bar, it is common to order a cocktail by saying "I want a cocktail that tastes like this ", but at Whale of August, you order by the name of the work, so one of the best parts of the experience is waiting excitedly to see what kind of cocktail you will be served.

Another nice thing about August Whale is that you get a small booklet when you leave.
The book introduces a variety of movies that the store recommends, and the cover, like the store's sign, features a photo of the movie "New Cinema Paradise ".
This is truly a great service for movie lovers. It might be interesting to learn about a new movie and ask for a cocktail of that film the next time you visit the restaurant.
This movie bar is full of elements that can be enjoyed from beginning to end. Movie lovers are encouraged to visit.

At the glistening neon entrance, "Back to the Future "is "Welcome to the Future ", while ...... is Welcome to the Future !
What a stylish production! This must be exciting even for those who are not familiar with science fiction movies.

As you enter the store downstairs, you are greeted by a life-size Iron Man posing with a life-size Iron Man.
Although touching is prohibited, photographers are free to take pictures, and many people take pictures to commemorate the event and upload them to social networking sites. It is true that one cannot help but take a picture when one sees something like this.
Kanda Flux is also filled with other goods that will excite sci-fi movie lovers, such as busts of Darth Vader and C3PO, lightsabers, and more! The collection is so large that it would not be an exaggeration to call it a petit museum.

Another thing not to be missed is the huge 140-inch screen installed on the counter side.
Here, preview movies of nostalgic classics and the latest movies are always playing, making you feel as if you are having a drink while watching a movie.
While you can enjoy drinks at the table side while looking closely at the owner's collection, we definitely recommend sitting at the counter side if you want to immerse yourself in the world of science fiction movies.

The cocktail menu is not the name of the film title, but the name of a character from the film.
All of the cocktails are so unique and stylish that it is hard to decide what to order.
Another great thing about Kanda Flux is its extensive food menu. It offers a somewhat robust food menu, including pizza and pasta, so you will have no problem enjoying yourself even if you go to the first restaurant.
This is a great spot for sci-fi movie lovers as well as for those who want to drink and walk around with friends and loved ones.

BUBBA GAMP SHRIMP is an American seafood restaurant themed after the 1994 blockbuster "Forrest Gump ".
The concept of the restaurant is after the main character, Forrest Gump, succeeds in his late best friend Bubba's will to make a very successful shrimp fishery.
"The interior of the restaurant was created based on the premise that if Forrest Gump, a successful businessman, were to start a restaurant ...... ", the interior is full of interior design elements that bring to mind famous scenes from the play.

For example, the blue and red plates on each table.
Actually, this is to stop the staff at the store. The blue plate says "RUN FORREST RUN (Run, Forrest, run) "and the red plate says "STOP FORREST STOP (Stop, Forrest, stop) "!
Since many scenes in the play depict the main character Forrest running, this restaurant has a system in which the staff members are likened to Forrest and serve red plates when they have something to do and blue plates when they have nothing to do.

Of course, in addition to the interior design, the restaurant's menu also offers many Forrest Gump-inspired items.
Especially noteworthy is the shrimp menu. As mentioned above, BUBBA GAMP SHRIMP is themed on the restaurant that Forrest opened after his success in shrimping, so there are many shrimp dishes anyway, such as shrimp cocktail and Cajun shrimp!
You can also order the shrimp dish that Bubba taught Forrest in the play.
