Tengu Shokudo

Fancy a walk on music’s wild side? Then make for this Sangenjaya bar. Its set-up is supremely simple – a DJ booth in the back and a small dance floor – but the tunes on offer are always wonderfully eclectic. You might hear spaced-out disco and house one night, ‘rare groove’ (obscure soul, jazz or funk) the next. Partly thanks to its lack of space, Tengu Shokudo is also the kind of place where you’re expected to make friends with the regulars – something that shouldn’t be very hard after a few drinks, and perhaps a plate of the owner’s homemade gyoza or curry.
