La Provençale - Wine Bar

Address - 東京都新宿区歌舞伎町2-45-7 1F, just next to North Exit of Seibu Shinjuku Line
Opening hours - 17:00 to late...
Telephone - 03-3205-8113
Menu - In Japanese, but you can ask to see the wine labels

A small standing bar conveniently located next to the Seibu Shinjuku station. Not much food is offered there, but there is a reasonable selection of wine by the glass, focusing as you can guess on the south-est area of France - although wines from all around the world are available. The staff is friendly, and it is a good way to wait for your train. The "standing" limitation (there are still 2-3 mini-seats) will obviously make you stay only for 1-2 glasses...
The cheapest wines start at 240 yen per glass, but be aware that for this price, you will get a wine from a box - definitively not our recommendation. On the other hand, it is a good place to taste some rosés.
