wineshop flow
Hatanogaya, Tokyo
Tucked down a quiet lane in Hatagaya (幡ヶ谷), Tokyo, wineshop flow feels like a friendly neighbor’s living room that also happens to stock an obsessive collection of records and rare bottles; by day it reads like a compact wine boutique, by night it transforms into an intimate music kissa where the clink of glasses blends with warm analog sound. The proprietor—part sommelier, part crate-digger—curates sets that move from velvet jazz and Brazilian grooves to Japanese city pop and hushed folk, often pairing a specific bottle or glass with the mood of the vinyl spinning on the turntable. Low lighting, well-worn wooden counters, and a handful of stools invite listeners to linger, trade recommendations with locals, or settle in for an unhurried evening of discovery. If you’re exploring Tokyo off the beaten track, this cozy hybrid of wine shop and listening bar in Hatagaya is a small, authentic refuge for anyone who loves music served slowly and with a thoughtful pour.
