About

The main store of a long-established Tokyo liquor shop founded in 1706. It is near Sendagi Station but not on a main road — it sits tucked into a residential area up the hill beside Sudo Park, in a calm gray-and-green building, so on a first visit you may wonder whether you have the right place. The range centers on sake and shochu but extends to Japanese wine and whisky, and officially the shop carries over 800 items in total. The shop stresses that both the store and the stockroom are kept at low temperature, and reviews repeatedly mention the large refrigerators, the good condition of the stock, and the staff's advice on taste.

How to buy

A good main store to hand over the choosing to, whether for a gift or for your own taste. Tell the staff what you like or what the occasion is and the suggestions are quite accurate, and many say sake beginners find it easy to choose here. Popular labels such as Aramasa turn up now and then, but should not be expected as regular stock, and sought-after premium bottles are hard to get. The official sake list runs broadly across Aramasa, Hiroki, Sharaku, Gakki Masamune, Senkin, Hoou Biden, Kankiku, Kokuryu, Kamoshibito Kuheiji, Zaku, Toyo Bijin, Dassai, and Tenbi, so the shop suits buying a good local sake on a recommendation rather than hunting a particular rare bottle. Cashless payment and PayPay appear to be available, and past reviews mention a 3,000 yen minimum for credit cards.

Getting there

About 2 minutes on foot from Exit 2 of Sendagi Station on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line, and about 12 minutes from the south exit of JR Nippori Station. The route goes a little in from Shinobazu-dori and up the steep "Atelier-zaka" slope beside Sudo Park, which feels harder if you are carrying a lot. It is a popular shop with several groups of customers even during the day, and although the official directions for drivers say to turn in at the Dangozaka-ue traffic light, the streets are residential lanes, so coming by train is easier the first time.
