Test your hand and tastebuds at the Kakuuchi Liquor Festival in Ueno. Try everything from shochu (Japanese distilled beverage) to beer, with snacks to match.
What happens?
The Kakuuchi Liquor Festival is named that way for the way the drinks are served. If you’d like a drink or snack, you use the kaku-uchi system — exchanging a token for a small cup of alcohol or snack. It’s a great way to try something new or unfamiliar without having to commit to a whole bottle (and perhaps find a new favorite nightcap on your last token gamble).
Find stalls dedicated to drinking snacks, like cheese, nuts, and light bites. The event stage will also host a mix of live performers for you to unwind with a sip of your sake.
