Bampire Shimokitazawa

One visitor says they enjoyed the nasu to mochi agedashi at Bampire Shimokitazawa—a dish that lends itself to a drink alongside. The menu also lists ham katsu, a natto omelette, ankimo (monkfish liver), aji fry (fried horse mackerel) and aburi shime saba (seared cured mackerel), among other fried dishes, seafood and drinking snacks. Pick a dish that catches your eye and pair it with a White Horse whisky highball or a beer.

One report describes ordering by writing dishes on paper, while another visitor found the prices reasonable and the snack portions generous. It could suit a casual meal of several small plates or a solo drink. A visitor who expected a standing bar says they found a place with seats instead—a useful detail when choosing this branch. Visitors also report that guests take off their shoes before entering. The bar opens in the early afternoon, at 15:00 or 13:00 depending on the day, and stays open until 4:30 the following morning.
