Nova.x

Perched on the 2th floor of a multi-tenant building in Higashi-Ikebukuro 1-chome, Nova.x caters expressly to late-night hours. The doors open at 22:00 and stay open until 5:00 the next morning seven days a week, making it a reliable refuge once the last trains have departed or when an evening calls for settling in until dawn.

Behind the counter, the bar pours draft beer and a wide variety of other drinks, backed by a concise food menu meant to accompany each round. In the Ikebukuro neighborhood, where places serving food and drinks past midnight can thin out, it offers a steady eat-in option to keep in reserve for late-night wanderings.
