While there are many restaurants where you can enjoy all you can drink alcohol at a low price, "NIHONSHU GENKA SHUZO" became extremely popular by word of mouth as a place where you can enjoy Japanese sake at low cost. In this article, we will take a closer look at the lineup, reasonable prices, and secrets behind the popularity of Sake Cost Sake Brewery, which currently has 10 branches.
What is "NIHONSHU GENKA SHUZO"?
NIHONSHU GENKA SHUZO opened its first store in Shimbashi Tokyo in April 2015. Since then, this izakaya quickly became a popular restaurant by word of mouth as a place to enjoy sake at a price so reasonable that it could be considered price-destructive. It is operated by Creative Place Corporation, which is headed by Yuto Nakamura and is involved in a number of restaurant businesses in Japan. Currently, NIHONSHU GENKA SHUZO is centered around the main branch in Shinjuku Tokyo, and has become a popular restaurant with 10 branches in Shinjuku East Exit, Shinbashi, Ueno Okachimachi, Kinshicho, Jimbocho, Kanda, Ikebukuro, Kawasaki, and Omiya.
Premium Sake at Reasonable Prices
The main selling point of this sake bar is that you can drink sake at a very reasonable price. For an admission fee of 490 yen per person, you can drink premium, famous brands collected from all over Japan at affordable prices. Another attraction of this system is that each store offers a different selection of sake. Currently, two patterns are available: It is possible to taste completely different sake at each store you visit. Also when you look at the list, you will be amazed at the wide selection. Not only premium brands that would cost 3,000 to 4,000 yen per bottle if you tried to purchase them by mail order, but also hard-to-find brands that have limited distribution.
The menu features famous brands such as "Dassai Junmai Daiginjo 45" produced by Asahi Shuzo Co. in Yamaguchi Prefecture, "Kuroryu" by Kuroryu Shuzo in Fukui Prefecture, "Nabeshima" in Saga Prefecture, "Hakkaisan" in Niigata Prefecture, and other premium sake brands that are hard to find such as "Jyushidai" in Yamagata Prefecture, which is said to be a mirage, are also offered at cost. You can also enjoy sake at a more discounted price by using the official app available on both Google play and the Apple store. If you register as a member after downloading the app, you can use various coupons. Another feature of the official app is how easy it is to make reservations. You can also purchase special sake from the online store.
A wide variety of menu items that go well with sake
NIHONSHU GENKA SHUZO prides itself not only on its cheap prices and selection of sake. The secret of the restaurant's popularity is the wide variety of snacks they offer. The lineup includes about 50 different kinds of appetizers such as "Seared smoked duck (650 yen including tax)" and "Seared vinegared mackerel (870 yen including tax)," which have an unforgettable aroma, and "Cheese assortment (760 yen including tax)" in which you can taste various kinds of cheeses. In addition to these, They offer four courses that allow you to enjoy the sake brewery at a reasonable price.
In addition, the all-you-can-drink course can be upgraded for an additional fee without changing the course menu, making it easy to customize it to suit the occasion. In addition to the menu you can enjoy at any time, there is also an all-you-can-eat campaign held for a limited period of time. Just recently, authentic all-you-can-eat sushi campaign was held for 2,000 reservations in three days. This is a project that only the management of a genuine high-class sushi restaurant such as "Sushi Ichi" and "Sushi Asahi" could have planned.
Low price and its secret
It may sound a bit harsh, but you can enjoy sake at cost at NIHONSHU GENKA SHUZO. For example, "Dassai Junmai Daiginjo 45" costs 320 yen including tax, "Kuroryu" 270 yen including tax, "Nabeshima" 260 yen including tax, "Hakkaisan" 360 yen including tax, and even "Jyushidai" 270 yen including tax. These low prices come from the thorough cutting of labor costs. It would be too inefficient for the staff to carry bottles of sake and pour them into glasses after receiving an order, as they do in most izakaya (Japanese style pubs).
Therefore, NIHONSHU GENKA SHUZO has created an original single-bottle sake bottle. Instead of carrying the bottles directly to the customer, they were transferred to the original single-bottle bottles, allowing them to handle many different types of orders at once. Another ingenious way to cut down on rent is to have many stores located in the basement. It is on the basis of thorough cost-cutting that sake is offered at cost.
