If you go beyond the wooden benches and beer crates out front of Nakano Darling's ever-changing facade, you might feel like you've stepped into a different world in Tokyo.
This place is where Suntory whiskey, sake, sochu, umeshu, and beer are freely flowing, and Japanese is spoken all around. It's a spot where anyone who loves good booze and delicious food could easily lose themselves for entire nights if not days. Nakano Darling represents everything that makes the izakaya, or humble 'stay-drink-place', such a central and beloved part of Japanese culture.
Of course, you'll find all the food and drink favourites here (think homemade gyoza, karaage chicken, and whisky cocktails), but it's about more than just that. It's about the experience.

    From the moment we entered "Neptune's Grotto" I knew we were in for a splendid evening. And we weren't disappointed. I am a big fan of a short Menu where you want to try everything on offer. And this is exactly what was displayed. The food was superb and the extensive Wine List was deletable. Heavily leaning on Italian Wines -and rightly so - there was something for every price range. The food was superb, the décor romantic and the whole experience made me sad we had to leave. But we will be returning.

    Staff were professional, approachable and knowledgeable. The food was overall great, but the waguy beef with chimichurri was a bit on the tough side. It could have done with being sliced a bit thinner. Also, as a Spaniard, I do believe bread should be provided to the table as a staple, especially at this higher-market price tag.

    The staff at Clam Bar made last night so memorable for us all. The table was perfect - a booth in the back of the restaurant that comfortable sat us all. Felt like we were in downtown New York amongst the wood panelling and jazz music. The service was wonderful, the food exceptional. We will be back.
