We decided to try this standing bar because it seemed like we could enjoy some delicious sake quickly. There were four of us, and we were seated at a table in the front right. I wasn't sure how to line up, so I ended up moving the table by accident. I'm sorry about that. They had all the popular sake brands available, but what was really convenient was that they categorized the flavors with colored stickers, making it easy to try something new.

As soon as I walked in, I was surprised to see some tourists from Singapore and Korea. I ended up becoming friends with a solo Korean traveler who was nearby (lol). First, I ordered a craft beer which was quite good. I also ordered a cheese plate which was delicious. I think this place is excellent as a standing bar. The staff, especially the waitresses, provided great service with a genuine attitude. If you're thinking about having a standing drink in Namba, definitely consider Minasayu as an option!

A cozy and casual standing bar where customers who are particular about sake can discuss and make gentle suggestions on what to drink. It's not the type of place where you just have a beer and a quick bite before leaving. They don't serve draft beer, probably no highballs either. It has a stylish and sophisticated atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a variety of drinks.

Standing bar in Namba. They have a wide variety of sake, and I chose a sweet one. They also have a few simple snacks, and I tried the Shirako ponzu. Last order was at 10:30, but there were still customers until the end. It was a popular place. Thank you for the meal.

☆彡I received information from my sake friends that this place has a good selection of sake, so I decided to check it out. It was my first time visiting this store, and as I walked in, I noticed a treasure trove of sake lined up in the refrigerated showcase. There were yellow price tags on each sake bottle, indicating that they were available for ordering. From new releases to rare sake varieties, the showcase was filled with a variety of options, making it exciting to choose which one to try first. The first sake that caught my eye was Senkin Yukidaruma, a newly released brand. I immediately ordered it along with a variety of snacks that would pair well with sake: - Maguro Sake Tofu and Cream Cheese (550 yen) - Red Wiener Stir-fry (350 yen) - Firefly Squid Dried in Fish Sauce (450 yen) - Chicken Meatball Ginger Stew (400 yen) - Asari Clams Steamed in Sake (680 yen) - Yakisoba with Dragon Egg (400 yen) Sake (all in half cups): - Senkin Yukidaruma (850 yen) - Kido Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki, 40% polishing rate (1,100 yen) - Juku Marvelous (950 yen) - Kame Junmai Ginjo Genshu, 50% polishing rate (850 yen) - Junmai "Kinoda-shu" Yamadanishiki, 100% polished from Wakayama Prefecture (850 yen) - Haneya Kyokai Kobo 17 (850 yen) - Suigyoku Junmai Ginjo, 100% Akita-grown rice (850 yen) The menu displayed on the walls offered a wide variety of dishes, from simple and affordable izakaya-style dishes to those specifically designed to pair with sake. The prices were reasonable compared to other standing bars in the Namba area, making it easy to enjoy a casual meal with sake. I started with a slightly sweet aromatic sake and moved on to lighter, refreshing sakes, savoring the differences in flavors with each half cup. The turnover of stock seemed to be fast, with many new sake brands from November production date available. The fragrances were fresh, and the selection was limited to ensure quality. Popular brands tended to sell out quickly, creating a sense of camaraderie among customers enjoying sake together. Although I intended to limit myself to just seven half cups, I ended up spending over 10,000 yen due to the high unit prices of sake. The sake here is delicious, so sake enthusiasts will definitely enjoy it, but it's important to exercise self-control due to the higher prices. Overall, it was a great experience, and I realized that sake standing bars offer a unique and enjoyable way to appreciate Japanese sake. If you love sake, this place is a must-visit! ( ´ﾟдﾟ｀)ｱﾁｬｰ I am also on Instagram @ginjirou.star

Visited the third restaurant as a reward after climbing Mount Kongō. This standing bar offers a rare selection of Japanese sake. Although I am not very knowledgeable about sake, my companion, a sake enthusiast, was very excited about the extensive variety available. Most customers come in for 1-2 drinks and leave quickly, but we stayed for a whopping 2 and a half hours, enjoying a considerable amount of sake. Despite feeling tired from the mountain climb, we were captivated by the delicious sake and food pairings. Highly recommended spot for a post-hike drink.

In Namba, there is a standing bar called "Sai" where you can enjoy a variety of different genres of standing bars in the area. Among them, this shop stands out with its extensive lineup of Japanese sake, as shown in the photo. I have visited this place a few times, and the food is reasonably priced, especially the potato salad which I highly recommend! It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. I will visit again soon!

Duohei → Fukutarou → I have a vague memory of the mama at the third place being friendly and fun (sorry for the vagueness lol). I think there was a wide range of Japanese sake from around 600 yen to 2000 yen per glass (sorry for the vagueness lol). As the name suggests, it's a standing bar.

This is a blog post about a restaurant review in Osaka/Nara. The restaurant is called "Tachinomi Sai" in Namba. The reviewer enjoyed standing and drinking with friends. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff were friendly. The selection of sake was impressive, and the food was delicious. Overall, the reviewer rated the restaurant 3.5 out of 5 stars.

After eating at "Tayutayu" in Osaka, we went to drink sake. "Hey, let me treat you today!" As we entered, we saw rows of Juyondai sake bottles. If you order, you get complimentary purified water (Crystal Geyser). Hattanso Yukiire Imada (glass) for 850 yen is fruity with a strong sweetness, but you won't get tired of it. I love this sake. Kudoki Jozu Junmai Daiginjo Kokotsushi for 900 yen is also fruity with an elegant mouthfeel, which I think girls will like. The atmosphere is nice, but I wish it was a bit cheaper. I'll definitely visit again. My friend didn't drink Juyondai, so I had to persuade her. Time to move on to the next place. Thank you for the meal!

The restaurant offers a wide variety of sake, from famous brands to lesser-known ones. The food is delicious and the prices are reasonable. They don't have a sake menu, but you can choose your favorite bottle from the fridge and the staff will pour it for you. With so many options available, it's best to let the staff know your preferences. It's a casual and welcoming place, so I would like to visit again.

A standing bar where both beginners and experts can enjoy a variety of sake. It's fun to choose sake directly from the refrigerator. The prices are reasonable, starting from 500 yen for sake and 300 yen for snacks. They also have cute sake bottles with labels you may not have seen before. There were many young women and foreigners when I visited. The staff were friendly and made the experience enjoyable. I live in Tokyo so it's hard to visit often, but if it were closer, I would go every week.

I visited the standing bar "SAI" in Namba, which is known for being female-friendly. It has a trendy atmosphere and is open-air, making it easy to enter. They serve water in 500ml bottles, which is convenient as you can drink as much as you want. You can even take the leftover water home. I always order the ladies set here, which includes a daily drink and three snacks for a very reasonable price. The drink was a dry sake called Kinshachi, and the snacks were prosciutto, salted squid, and smoked herring. All of them paired well with sake! They don't have a sake menu, so you can just tell them your preference and they will choose for you. I tried Kido's cloudy sake, which was refreshing with a light fizz and a subtle aroma. It was delicious! Although the drinks are a bit pricey, the food is reasonably priced. I want to try more items from their menu next time!

I visited this place after a long time~♪ I came here to have a drink while waiting for the restaurant I made a dinner reservation at to open♡ Of course, there are no chairs, just vinyl sheets outside where you can see inside the refrigerator and the selection of available drinks for the day❢ Today, I tried out drinks like Juyondai, Tatsuriki, and Saké no Saké, as well as a new one called Wakakoma that I've never had before. Well, surprisingly, it had a strong alcohol taste haha. The theme was like an adult Ramune... but it had a pretty sharp and clear taste lol. Today, my partner and I enjoyed comparing each other's drinks while having a good time. You can tell the staff your preferences and they will find various options for you, so I think it's very easy for beginners to enjoy different drinks hereꕤ*.ﾟ Oh, by the way, I sometimes see foreigners here too (I saw an employee speaking English with one yesterday lol). Bon appétit⸜( * ॑꒳ˆ* )♡

This is a sake specialty standing bar located in Ura-Namba. There are a few seats at the counter and standing tables, giving it a cozy atmosphere. When you sit at the counter, you'll see cases of sake lined up in front of you, each with prices clearly marked. I ordered "Tajima" sake and some horumon stew as a side dish. They poured the sake into a wine glass, about 90ml, and also brought a bottle of mineral water. If you have leftover water, you can take it home. The horumon stew was lightly seasoned to complement the sake. Since this was my third stop today, I only had one glass before heading home.

[Purpose of Visit] I used it for a second party. [Ambiance] It's moderately calm for a standing bar, which is nice. [Order] I had some recommended sake and ordered dishes that would go well with it. [Taste] The sake was delicious, and the dishes were quite good. The pickled mackerel was especially tasty. [Portion Size] Average. [Value for Price] It's reasonably priced for being in the heart of Osaka. [Overall Impression] It's a great place that I stumbled upon!

It's been a while since I had Japanese sake. I was worried about getting too drunk because it had been a long time, but since there wasn't much time until closing, I ended up having just one cup. I wanted to have some simmered dishes, but they were sold out near closing time. However, the wasabi beans really complement the sake well. It's dangerous!! The assorted sake appetizers are definitely tempting. I'd like to come back when I have more time.

I stopped by "Sai" for a standing drink after a long time. It's a standing bar specializing in Japanese sake, with a wide selection of rare and valuable sake. Although it wasn't as crowded as before, there was a steady flow of customers on this day. The junmai ginjo sake was 750 yen. There are still many interesting sake options, but overall the prices seem to have dropped compared to before. Perhaps this is thanks to healthy competition. The potato salad was 90 yen. What, 90 yen! Surprisingly delicious! It's mixed with ham, carrots, and onions, with just the right amount of saltiness. There are many fermented snacks, perhaps considering the pairing with sake. The good thing about standing bars is that you can leave without worrying after just one drink. The total cost was 840 yen.

A female-friendly standing bar✨ with a wide variety of drinks to enjoy ⋆*✩⑅◡̈⃝*
