“Have a quick kick in Tokyo! Enjoy delicious sake and side dishes!”

This may be out of the blue, but how do you usually enjoy drinking alcohol?
In addition to sitting down and drinking at an izakaya, drinking at home with an emphasis on value for money has recently become a popular trend.

But do you know of any other attractive ways to drink alcohol?
This time, I would like to introduce the third power of drinking, "Kakuuchi".

First of all, what is Kakuuchi?

Originally, kakuuchi meant drinking alcohol straight from the sake cup, but today it has changed to mean ``drinking alcohol while standing at a liquor store.'' Unlike regular standing bars, the key point is that you can drink at a bar that sells alcohol.

Kakuuchi at a liquor store is basically about enjoying alcohol, so in many cases you have to prepare your own snacks.
However, you can also say that you can buy dry goods that are sold cheaply at your local supermarket and enjoy alcoholic beverages at a reasonable price. Additionally, some Kakuuchi shops offer dozens of small a la carte dishes, so it's a good idea to choose a shop that suits your drinking style.

Recommended Kakuuchi spots in Tokyo

Nowadays, the number of shops where you can enjoy Kakuuchi in Tokyo has increased considerably. Here we would like to introduce some of the many kaku-uchi spots that we particularly recommend.

Orihara Shoten, which operates near Monzennakacho Station, is a store with a distinctive appearance that resembles a nostalgic candy store. As a liquor store, we carry a selection of first-class sake from all over the country.

Another great thing about this restaurant is that they serve a la carte dishes. You can enjoy the standard lineup of izakaya dishes such as edamame, potato salad, and stingray fin.

The payment method is cash-on. You bring the 1-sho bottle or 4-go bottle of sake you are interested in from the refrigerated case to the cash register, and then choose the size of the glass. It's a little different from your average izakaya, but you'll be thrilled by this step. If you are interested in Kakuuchi, please stop by.

This time we introduced a new style of drinking, "Kakuuchi". In addition to the shops we introduced this time, there are many other shops that serve famous sake in the Kakuuchi style. It's nice to sit down and enjoy a drink, but how about casually enjoying a cup of famous sake?
