The secret story behind the opening of Karasuma Shijo: Enjoy wine, food, and song at Moda...
July 1, 2003 open
BAR Nostalgia (Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture) is a place that reminds one of the good old days that have passed since its opening in 2003. The bar is located in the basement of a building and has the atmosphere of a hideout, but once you open the door, you will be greeted with warm hospitality by the staff, making it easy to relax and enjoy a drink even if you are a bar novice or a first-time customer.
In addition to drinks, the restaurant also offers a full food menu. Enjoy a bouncy baguette and salty prosciutto bruschetta for 1,100 yen, or avocado and salmon tartar for 850 yen, which is rich in flavor but not too rich, with a drink.
It is also famous for the fact that the writer Tomihiko Morimi is a regular customer, and in many cases, those who visit as fans of Mr. Morimi are attracted by the bar itself and become regular customers. It is also known as the model for the fictional bar "Shu-Glass" that appears in Morimi's novel "Arikuten Kazoku," and is closely associated with the novel.
The owner told us a memorable episode related to the novel and the bar. A bar called "Yoru no Tsubasa" (Wings of the Night) appears in Mr. Morimi's novel "Tropics. After finishing the manuscript of "Tropics," Morimi was drawn to a certain bar in Pontocho, which he found to fit the image of "Yoru no Tsubasa" perfectly. That bar was "Bar Rinto," an affiliate of "Bar Nostalgia. He was completely unaware of the connection between the two bars, and was surprised to find that he felt that BAR Rinto was similar to his own work.
