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.
The word "Gabana" was coined by the owner, Bucky Inoue. It means a “flower of good cheer,” or a “wonderful flower.” The owner wrote and carved the name on the signboard. The music that plays in the restaurant is Showa-era popular songs, Trio Los Panchos, and other music that goes well with selected sake.
