Meal takeaway • 3-chōme-13-14 Shimomeguro, Meguro City, Tokyo 153-0064, Japan
In a quiet residential area of Shitameguro, downtown Tokyo, there is a unique bar. Its name is "bar nargo". The moment you open the door, you will be enveloped in an atmosphere as if you have wandered into a Mexican market alley. The store is simple yet full of charm, with handmade pottery and cloth products adorning the walls, exuding a tropical atmosphere.
The biggest attraction of Bar Nargo is the selection of tequila and mezcal by the bartender. There are rare labels imported from various parts of Mexico, each with a rich aroma and deep flavor. If you order the bartender's recommended tasting set, you can enjoy the unique characteristics of each one. With every sip, you may envision the scenery of Mexico.
In addition to alcohol, the specialty of this bar is the curry. Spicy and fragrant curry pairs perfectly with homemade fermented drinks. Instead of alcoholic drinks, the recommended choice is a healthy fermented drink such as plum wine or ginger ale. The gently spreading sweet and sour taste enhances the spiciness of the curry.
One of the attractions of Bar Nargo is the leisurely and extraordinary time that you can spend there. After enjoying alcohol to your heart's content, you can relax while enjoying the owner's recommended curry. In the space adorned with illustrations of cats drawn by the cat-loving owner, you may feel a sense of peace and relaxation as if you have returned home.
Bar Nargo is located in a quiet residential area of Shitameguro 3-chome, about a 10-minute walk from the nearest Meguro station. When you walk through the night alleys, you will see a warm light spilling from the shop. Try following the Mexican lights and stepping into this mature hidden gem.
