About this place 東京Ken☆Ken☆

東京Ken☆Ken☆ is a small gay bar on the second floor of the Wago Building in Kamitakada, Nakano, a short walk from Araiyakushi-mae Station. Like most Japanese gay bars it is a counter bar run by a master who talks with customers, and the crowd is mostly local regulars. The 4.7 rating from 24 reviews suggests a friendly room. Hours are not listed here, so check before going; a cover or table charge is normal in this style of bar, and some Japanese-language conversation helps.

This is a really great place! The atmosphere is nice and relaxing! It's easy to drink, and I think it's a good place to go alone. Highly recommended!

The main shochu they serve in bottles is Kinmiya. You can enjoy yourself even without ordering a bottle, and I was pleased with their homemade daily appetizers in addition to their standard snacks. I've been coming here to drink before, but after the renovation, the lighting in the shop has changed, and I feel the atmosphere has improved.

It has a very homey atmosphere. The clientele is from all walks of life, and the regulars are all very nice people. I think you'll feel right at home even if it's your first time. They have both shots and bottles, but if you're a heavy drinker, a bottle is fine, and they have a variety of drinks available, so you can enjoy shots as well. You won't be pressured to drink, so you can drink with peace of mind. There are about 7-8 seats at the counter and about 7 sofa seats. It's relatively lively on weekends, but if you go on a weekday, you can enjoy a quiet atmosphere. The owner is a bit of a ditz and a bit of a natural airhead, but she has the spirit of a true Higo Mokkosu (a local slang term for a local who is always brave and naive), so I think she's adorable. She likes highballs, so she'll be happy if you give her one. She likes beer, but please try not to give her any.

This is a great place to enjoy a drink alone. Kenken is friendly, and the atmosphere is great. I've caused some trouble when I was drunk, but they were incredibly kind and helpful. They also have events, so it's a fun place to be.
