Yokobori (ヨコボリ)

Tucked beside the Higashi-Yokobori canal just steps from Kitahama Station, Yokobori is a sleek standing bar where a chef with a decade of local restaurant experience serves inventive Chinese-inflected small plates alongside an outsized list of roughly 1,500 natural wines. Beers and highballs start at a wallet-friendly ¥400, drawing a stylish after-work crowd most evenings.

There’s no phone line and no reservations — just walk in, grab counter space, and order. Closures are irregular (不定休), so hours below reflect the shop’s typical schedule; confirming on social media before a visit is recommended.
