The bar is kept at -5 degrees Celsius.
The walls, bar, tables, chairs and glasses are ALL made of ice!

All of the ice for this establishment is flown in from Sweden. The ice is not made, it is harvested.
Before they could open this bar in Tokyo, they had to prove that using ice glasses would not be a heath risk. After running tests on a melted glass, the Japananese Health Department determined the water in these glasses was cleaner than the water they had in they're own water system. (Which is very good, in of itself)
The glasses did melt a little after drinking from them, as you can see in this picture.
