The Ahiru Store is a small wine bar and restaurant in Shibuya that was recommended to us byt the friendly guy working at Fuglen. Their focus is on natural wines, a trend that has not really caught on as much here as in some other places. To be honest wines are not as popular in Japan as in Europe but still one of the best places in Asia to enjoy good wine. There is a good selection of 10 or so wines by the glass and numerous more by the bottle and all at pretty decent prices(ranging from 400 to a bit over 1000 yen per glass). The staff are happy to discuss what you are looking for and let you taste before making a choice. In general staff are very friendly and service-minded and they really try to make everyone fit into the small space and if you do not fit in they try to set people at the door and just outside. Reservations are possible if you are also eating so would recommend that. I never got around to taste any of the food but it did look delicious so will return for that some other time.

The Ahiru Store is a bar in Shibuya specializing in natural wines. They have a selection of around seven to ten wines by the glass as well as a larger list by bottle. Prices vary from around 400 to 1200 yen(5 to 10EUR). The shop is very small, so it is not so easy to fit in. But the staff tries their best to arrange seating. For us they brought out a table and placed it just outside of the door(the weather was good, so no problem). You can also reserve a table, so perhaps that is a wise thing to do. We came ten minutes before opening and we were the last party to fit«in». The Ahiru Store also serves small plates of food: bread, charcuterie and such. We were on our way for dinner, otherwise we would have tried out some of the food as well. The bread looked amazing! The only downside, which you will easily run into in Japan, is that the staff do not speak good enough English to really discuss the wines. So we chose our glasses by gut feeling.
