Simple and modern wine bar Bongout Noh

Here is another wine bar that was opened by an owner of successful Izakaya. Casual, stand-up bars in French bistros have a long tradition, so when the popular Shibuya stand-bar Buchi decided to open a branch featuring wines rather than sake, it kind of made sense. Rather than just serving a handful of snacks to go with their wines, the kitchen here offers nearly 100 different items, with consistently high quality. You can also choose from more than sixty wines, with some twenty by the glass. And the fun keeps going every night till 3am, perfect for late-night clubgoers and other neighborhood nightowls. The wine list comprised of mostly French wine with few others and are reasonably priced, nearly all the wines run between Y2500 and Y4500. Food is priced mostly around 700yen and the menu include various French and French inspired food: duck terrine, zucchini fritters, grilled game bird served with yuzu-kosho and spicy miso, grilled white asparagus, frog's leg,... etc

The decor at Bongout Noh is simple and modern, with a roomy counter bar and a few tables facing floor-to-ceiling windows that look out onto the street. A couple of corner tables include railings that you can perch on, and if you get tired of standing around there's a full-service dining room in back, with slightly higher (but still very reasonable) prices and an even bigger wine list of over 100 bottles.
