01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Set on the 6th floor of a building in Ikebukuro 2-chome, tabula rasa functions as both a bar and a comfortable place for a proper meal. Rather than limiting the food menu to light drinking snacks, the kitchen serves filling dishes like pork mains and pastas, including a classic peperoncino, making it a regular dinner stop for people heading home after work.
The softly lit interior features both counter and table seating. A video projector plays films against the wall, while a DJ booth sets the mood with gentle house rhythms and easygoing selections. The welcoming owner helps create an approachable environment where solo visitors feel comfortable dropping in, and friends or small groups can chat without pretense.
Drinks cover a broad range, centered on a generous list of cocktails and wine alongside beer and hard liquor. Operating from Tuesday through Sunday, 19:00 to 4:00 the following morning (closed Mondays), it serves equally well as a first stop for dinner or a late-night refuge when you want a quiet drink and a warm bite into the early hours.
