In the golden era of Japan’s jazz kissa culture, two sister spots, Dig and Dug, became icons. Dig was devoted entirely to deep listening, asking for silence to honor the purity of sound. Dug offered a more social atmosphere, where guests could sip drinks and chat while jazz filled the room.
That same devotion to music—and the power of an exceptional listening experience—lives on at Equipment Room. Join us and discover how we continue the spirit of these legendary spaces.
