L.I.C

Whether you are looking to sip a single glass of wine at dusk or linger a little longer before or after a meal, wine bar L.I.C in Mejiro makes an easy stop. The unpretentious storefront offers a clear view inside from the street, opening into an elongated space arranged with counter seating and a standing area. Guests can drop by for a quick drink around a barrel table or settle comfortably into the counter for a few pours, choosing whatever distance matches the mood of the evening.

Wines can be ordered casually by the glass or carafe, featuring refreshing, easy-drinking white house wine alongside by-the-glass selections tailored to individual preferences for body and weight. For bubbles, Franciacorta is available, alongside draught beer, whiskey and soda, and digestifs like grappa and limoncello.

To accompany the drinks, the kitchen turns out wine-friendly plates including formaggio—available individually or as an assortment—olives, pâté de campagne, and frittata. Nibbling on dried fruits, nuts, or chocolate makes for an equally leisurely option. For those skipping alcohol, selections such as succo di pesca, aranciata rossa, and non-alcoholic beer provide a calm, welcoming way to spend time.
