Finding this gem felt like unlocking a secret level in a game 🍶
🏷️ ¥220 per glass refill, regardless of grade or type. ¥220 for ginjo sake lees cream cheese (must try!)
📝 How it works: You either pick your own bottles on the shelves, or tell him what you usually enjoy taste-wise and have him recommend some. After you’re done, head back up, tell them how many glasses you had and pay 👌🏻 just make sure you exit the dungeon in one piece 😂
Yoyo-san founded Shimada Shoten in 1954 and has curated the finest sake selections from his personal exploration of about 200 breweries throughout Japan. A passionate and friendly host, he’s carved out his own little sanctuary here, where visitors can enjoy the most refined sake away from their everyday challenges.
Still can’t believe this is still very much under most radar when it’s only about 15 mins walk from Shinsaibashi station 🥳
Be sure to save this for your next Osaka trip!
