Mejiro Tanakaya is quite possibly the best liquor shop in Tokyo.
It’s not the biggest or the cheapest, but it’s packed with absolute gems—craft beer, wines, and whiskies you won’t find anywhere else.
While the prices are high, Tanakaya isn’t price gouging. Most of the brands are just super rare and hard to get in Japan, so the prices are justified.
Suggested Activity
Narita and Haneda airport transfers, door to door
Skip the train with your luggage. Book a private car from Narita or Haneda straight to your hotel, from US$64 per vehicle for up to four people. Flight tracked, 90 minutes free waiting time, free cancellation up to 24 hours before pick-up.
If you’re even a little interested in your booze, you’ll have trouble leaving Tanakaya without purchasing something special.
