If you go beyond the wooden benches and beer crates out front of Nakano Darling's ever-changing facade, you might feel like you've stepped into a different world in Tokyo. This place is where Suntory whiskey, sake, sochu, umeshu, and beer are freely flowing, and Japanese is spoken all around. It's a spot where anyone who loves good booze and delicious food could easily lose themselves for entire nights if not days. Nakano Darling represents everything that makes the izakaya, or humble 'stay-drink-place', such a central and beloved part of Japanese culture. Of course, you'll find all the food and drink favourites here (think homemade gyoza, karaage chicken, and imported Japanese beer on tap), but it's about more than just that. It's about the experience.

Great experience here, closest feeling to an actual in Japanese bar/food spot I’ve had in Australia. I love Orion beer and they have it on tap. Get the chicken karaage.

What a lovely local gem in Ultimo with some delicious dishes including the Hokkaido scallops, salmon sashimi, Jazushi fried chicken, mini Wagyu katsu curry, pumpkin skewers, yuzu ice cream. Unfortunately we weren’t there at the right time when Jazz is being performed, but we’ll be back to experience it soon.
