The 9th edition of the Kakuuchi Festival is set to be another boozy affair. ‘Kakuuchi’ refers to the bar that’s inside a liquor store and this festival celebrates the kakuuchi culture by replicating the drinking style. Here, small bars serving up a selection of sake, shochu and wine will be attached to their respective liquor store booth. Additionally, there will be around 30 food stalls cooking up sweet and savoury dishes to pair with your drinks.
Admission is ¥500 and it comes with a sake tasting experience. However, if you're looking to sample a variety of alcohol, get a drink set, as it includes a tasting glass if purchased in advance online plus 11 tickets for redeeming drinks. Be sure to purchase this in advance on the event website for ¥3,500 if you want a free glass to keep as a souvenir.
