A Convenience Store by Hakata Station Has Been Converted to a Standing Bar! Osake no Bijutsukan x Konbini Poplar
“Osake no Bijutsukan” is gaining popularity for its affordable sake, starting at 500 yen.
And that very same “Osake no Bijutsukan” chain has now opened a standing bar in the eat-in space of a “Poplar” convenience store (konbini) in front of Hakata Station!
What is “Osake no Bijutsukan”?
Osake no Bijutsukan is a group of standing retro bars, made for those who want to relax and enjoy a rare old bottle of sake without breaking the bank. It has gained high popularity with people of all walks of life, including university students, young women, middle-aged and elderly adults looking for a rare no-longer-sold bottle, and foreigners visiting Japan who wish to try Japanese whiskey, thanks to its lineup of interesting and rare sake that you can enjoy for a low price.
Perfect for These People!
Perfect for those who have never visited a bar, as it’s located inside a convenience store.
It’s also perfect for those who want a drink without spending much time or money.
There are plans for 100 locations across Japan, starting with this Poplar Hakata Ekimae location set to open on March 6th, 2019, so why not stop on by when you see this signboard?
