오사카 · 나니와구 시키츠니시
A large sake shop spoken of as a pilgrimage site on an Osaka sake trip. An entire upper floor of the building is run like a refrigerated sake warehouse, and its strength is a storage policy that sets different temperatures for each room to handle everything from hiire (pasteurized) sake to namazake. The shop is so large and the range so wide that a beginner choosing on impulse can be overwhelmed; it suits people who arrive with some idea of what they want to drink. Each floor has a role: second for drinking, third the sake warehouse — refrigerator-cold, with warm clothing and flashlights lent out.
Rather than staff explaining bottles one by one from the start, the flow is to choose for yourself in the upstairs storage space and bring your bottles down to pay. It is good for namazake and jizake such as Toyo Bijin, Zaku, Tengumai, and Oroku, but it is not a shop to visit expecting premium rarities like Juyondai or Jikon. Tax-free is not available. If you want a suggestion it is best to ask for an osusume, and if your Japanese is weak a translation app keeps the conversation useful. Some visitors mention drinking by the glass, but you may be disappointed if you expect a shop where customers can freely taste while browsing.
It is a large sake shop toward a residential area, so the mood differs from a downtown mall-type liquor store. It is a place you set as a destination, and inside, the key route is going up to the upstairs storage space to look for yourself. The third-floor storage space is as cold as a refrigerator across the whole floor, so a light jacket helps if you plan to browse for a while.
