A high end bar and lounge the two story paper lantern stands out simply for its lack of height in the middle of the downtown area. Where everything else is monolithic high rises this small building follows the traditional aesthetic of bars meant to be sanctuaries away from the world at large. Through its heavy and hard to open front doors the open concept layout follows American sensibility through a bright Japanese taste. The building may seem plane but its front door is illuminated by two small red paper lanterns highlighting the engraved name of the place above the door.

The first floor only has a handful of tables and booths with most of the space dominated by a bar on one wall and a small space for live music in the other. The bar is made from real wood and tends to always be stocked with high end liquor. The second floor is a balcony lined with gambling tables mostly for card or tile games that are organized by the patrons themselves and provide an element of additional white noise for those below. There are several female hostesses in Kimonos helping poor drinks at private tables and a general air of communal privacy throughout the place. A bland is playing some background music on stage. without someone on the microphone.

Zephyr is currently managing the bar dressed in traditional form he is lightly chatting with a few customers while pouring drinks. Anyone can spot him across the space because of his hair though for a Japanese establishment it would be surprising for anyone who was familiar with the culture to notice how diverse the workers and clients were in terms of race in ethnicity. Metahumans of every variety were pouring drinks or running a few of the tables on the second floor that required a dealer.
