Ao Corner (CLOSED)

Wander away from the bright lights of Nakameguro Station and into the neighbourhood's residential streets to find this secret izakaya, which looks just like your average old Japanese house from the outside. Step in through the unmarked door and the scene changes – you've entered a welcoming, brightly lit space where the casual and friendly staff shuffle about while patrons enjoy beers and better-than-average Japanese pub staples like tamagoyaki omelette and potato salad. After a few sips, you'll start feeling as relaxed as when drinking at home.
