"Situated on a leafy corner 10 minutes away from Shibuya station, Ahiru Store is a mecca of hard-to-find natural wines (mostly from France). The rustic décor reflects the bar’s priorities. Empty bottles and the autographs of cult producers like Pacalet and Domaine de L’Aglore adorn the walls and windows, and daily offerings are listed on a heavy black chalkboard. Lines of fervent (and frequently bearded) natural wine fanatics begin forming in the late afternoon, before Ahiru Store opens at 6 p.m." - Melinda Joe
