The Kinjiku

The Cantina Kinjiku is the most exclusive bar in the world and ground zero for a pupating black market stock exchange. More than four trillion US dollars move through the underworld annually, and The Kinjiku is where colossal deals are made, where desperate futures are modeled, and where shadows and kingpins cross pollinate. The New York Stock Exchange began in the Tontine Coffee House on the corner of Wall Street and Water, and underwriters, traffickers, slave traders and politicians wrote the American rule book for supply and demand. The Kinjiku is much the same, though much can be made of a menu. The Tontine served black coffee and spirits to fire the wild trading. The Kinjiku is the speakeasy mixologist answer to molecular gastronomy and serves rare whiskies and liquors microdosed with select toxins, all engineered to produce a variety of unique highs. A freelance investigative journalist is the first outsider the find the Kinjiku, and needs one more thing to break the story- an interview.
