When you walk out of the building elevator, you see a staircase on the left that leads to a rooftop of more than 600 square meters, which will open in May, so that guests can enjoy a view of the Gongti area, including a nearby artificial lake.
Facing the elevator is Mojo's wine cellar that boasts more than 1,500 wines from all over the world, with the prices ranging between 300 and 50,000 yuan ($7,246) a bottle. The wines are listed on the menu according to where they are produced, ranging from the famous areas to emerging regions.
Mojo has various vintages of the same wine and wines from the same vintage that are from different wineries, making it possible for guests to have a vertical or horizontal wine tasting.
The gastrolounge also has a good collection of rare wines of different vintages.
For example, they have three vintages of Chateau d'Yquem, and more than six bottles of each.
The wine is a well-known and expensive Sauterne from southern Bordeaux, and its one of the wines that can age the longest - a bottle will keep for about a century with proper care.
Speaking about the choices on offer, Chen Yalin, formerly with Temple Restaurant Beijing, who is in charge of the sommelier team, says: "I make sure that I don't just have overpriced things from the most famous regions. I also have options from Australia, Spain and Chile."
Mojo currently has just one Chinese wine, Jia Bei Lan from the Helan Qingxue winery, in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, but plans to have three or four Chinese wines in the future.
