Tachinomidokoro Gabana

In 2016, a pickle shop in Nishiki Market with a row of pickling barrels suddenly became a standing bar. At first, the place just offered Sawaya Matsumoto junmai sake, beer, and pickles, but the idea that a standing bar is a “ford on the seashore” brought in some crazy staff from all over the place, and now it is a bar where people from all over the country come to enjoy a drink. It is a very marketplace-like bar where creatures that have continued to evolve in their respective unique ways snuggle together and drink.
