About this place
Step into INDIGO in Ota Ward's Omorinishi neighborhood, and you are greeted by an extensive, thoughtful lineup of Belgian beers, each served in its dedicated brewery glassware. From refreshing white beers like Hoegaarden and Vedett to robust pours such as 4 varieties of Chimay, Duvel, and Orval—plus tart Duchesse de Bourgogne and Malheur 12—the cellar covers a wide stylistic spectrum to suit any mood.
The food selection goes well beyond standard nibbles. Classic steamed mussels pair seamlessly with Belgian ales, while grilled caciocavallo cheese, cheese-laden German potatoes, and bone-in galbi sausage make hearty accompaniments. The kitchen also turns out handmade pizza, lacto-pork ginger stir-fry, and even a Thai-inflected tom yum-style ramen to cap off the evening, ensuring diners can enjoy a full meal without leaving the bar.
Drink options extend well past the Belgian tap and bottle lists. Cocktails such as gin and tonics and daiquiris, whiskies like Yamazaki and Macallan, and an original house-infused coffee shochu round out the drinks ledger. With both counter stools and table seating, the unpretentious space provides a comfortable backdrop for an easygoing drink.
