A neat and tidy corner bar in Yokokawa, where you can drink as much sake as you like.
It’s a place where you can enjoy local sake with no peculiar flavors, so it’s safe and secure for children…right?
You like “strong flavors”…? I’ll introduce it to you separately, so please wait for it…
Hi, it’s “Drunk Uncle”!
Today I went to “Yamanaka Saketen” in Hiroshima on my way home from work.
I get off at Yokokawa Station again… This town has a unique drunken atmosphere, different from the drinking districts in front of Hiroshima Station and Nagarekawa. I’ve already introduced it a few times, so all you good kids should already know about it…?
It’s only one stop from Hiroshima Station, so grab your one-way ticket and be sure to stop by.
First of all, I’ll tell you that Yamanaka Sake Shop is a completely healthy standing bar with clear water like Lake Mashu, where you won’t find any thug customers, drunk old men, arrogant staff with bad customer service attitudes, or dog staff. If you like “strong flavors,” I’ll introduce them separately, so just sit back and wait.
Well then, shall we attack?
Checking out the exterior. It looks like a liquor store. It also functions as a retail store, so there’s no need for it to have a “quirky” appearance…
I wonder if they even have ashtrays for smokers, because there are no bad people among those who like gambling, smoking, and drinking… Anyway, I went inside the store.
A beautiful interior. According to sources, it seems they moved due to the elevated railway line. Well, that’s how it is.
July 11th is apparently Kaku-uchi Day… which is good information. For adult drinks… of course there’s no Hoppy or Denki Brando, and it doesn’t have the feel of a second-class sake, so it’s Hiroshima sake “Kamotsuru”. Remember that local production and consumption is important, okay?
Gulp! “Kamotsuru” is, well, delicious… You can’t go wrong ordering it…
There seem to be a variety of snacks, or rather, Mamitsu, but today I’m going to go back to my childhood and have some petit peas. What… it’s full of “dietary fiber derived from peas”? I’m grateful for the nutritional value. It reminds me of a candy store at dusk…
Gulp! You can’t drink alcohol just because of nostalgia… Have you gotten high on the “Petit Endo”?
Once you’ve “licked” the “Kamotsuru” down to the last drop, it’s time to pack up and disband.
It’s a very clean corner bar, so it’s safe and secure even for children to come alone. Oh, the law has changed recently and elementary school students can’t drink alcohol yet, right? Kids, please be quiet and drink a kid’s beer. That’s a promise I made to the drunk uncle.
Maybe it was a little too well-groomed for Drunk Uncle with the smell of backstreet bars ingrained in him.
Next time, I’ll bring along a girl who will be experiencing a corner bar for the first time.
