Apéro, which reopened in late 2025 as Apéro Aoyama Winebar & Table, has built a loyal following since its original debut in 2014. The Aoyama wine bar and restaurant is best loved for its comforting recipes, thoughtfully prepared using locally sourced organic produce.
Designed as a welcoming third space, Apéro caters to families, couples and solo diners alike in its bright and relaxed, minimal digs. The menu features hearty dishes like homemade potato gnocchi with truffle and nuts, and venison loin from Hokkaido with steamed seasonal vegetables from Nagano and Kanagawa. For something lighter, there are crowd-pleasing nibbles like french fries with homemade mayonnaise and charcuterie boards for picking at alongside a glass of wine.
Speaking of wine, all of the dishes here come with their own suggested pairing. The selection changes seasonally and is curated by Apéro's in-house wine experts, who are in charge of sourcing labels exclusively from winemakers in France.
(If you’re keen on stocking up your home collection, it’s worth checking out Apero’s sister shop in Kyojima, called Apero Wine Shop. You can get wine tastings at ¥300 a glass, but they are are free if you buy a bottle on the same day – now that's a deal.)
