Yamacho Liquor Store

A chilled large bottle of beer with vinegared octopus, followed by an order of niratama—egg cooked with garlic chives. One visitor recalls enjoying the hot, fluffy egg with beer, blowing on it as they ate. The shift from a refreshing octopus snack to warm niratama captures the appeal of choosing small plates one at a time at a standing bar.

Another visitor ordered niratama and sesame tofu alongside a large bottle of beer. Already feeling full, they chose lighter snacks—options that can suit a drink during a meal or when you simply fancy another. For a drink-and-snack pairing with a distinctly liquor-store feel, the menu also features one-cup Tosa Tsuru sake with kizushi, vinegared mackerel; a visitor specifically recommended the combination.

Tonkatsu, kasujiru soup and oden are also among the menu options, so there are choices for a more substantial meal as well as small plates. This standing-room liquor store in Bishōen serves food and offers alcoholic drinks including beer and wine. Payment is cash only, and reservations are not accepted.
