Taste: ★★★☆☆ Quantity: ★★★☆☆ Cost-performance: ★★★☆☆ Atmosphere: ★★★★☆ One of only three milk stands left in the country, this place offers a wide variety of milk and Yamapan bread. Salarymen come here to quickly drink milk for a calorie boost before heading to work.

Visited on Saturday at 18:15, ordered Hida coffee for 170 yen. Even in the scorching heat of the evening, drinking a chilled coffee milk amidst the hustle and bustle of the platform was a luxurious and delightful moment. I finished it in about 5 seconds, but the slight bitterness lingered, making it a wonderful bottle.

"Milk Stand" located on the Sogu Line platform at Akihabara Station. This is the platform for the upward direction. Established in 1950, Oosawa Milk runs this stand, which was a pioneer of Japanese fast food. They have 2 stores in Akihabara Station and 1 store in Okachimachi Station. In today's world where most station stores are convenience stores, this stand format is quite rare. With the changing times, Milk Stand also decreased in number, and in 2000, it transformed into a shop specializing in high-quality milk, adopting its current style. They offer nearly 38 different types of milk, including Megmilk and Meiji, as well as local milk. (They also have bread like anpan, but there are no chairs). One of their offerings is Shinshu Azumino Milk for 180 yen, known for its rich milkiness, abundant sweetness, and velvety smoothness. It's like a drink, a food, and a dessert all in one. Milk is delicious on its own, but drinking it from a bottle is even better! Normally, you might expect a paper bag and a straw, but the odorless bottle allows the milk's deliciousness to spread throughout your mouth with each sip. I wish to develop a habit of drinking milk in the morning when starting work or in the evening when finishing work. Thank you for the meal! (≧д≦)ゝ! *Benefits of Milk: Milk is rich in Vitamin A, which strengthens the mucous membranes. Milk contains tryptophan, an essential amino acid that aids in promoting good sleep. Milk is also rich in easily absorbed calcium, which helps calm the nerves and effectively reduces stress."

Together with my wife, we visited a milk stand that had caught our attention for some time. The vast array of products swaying in the wind reminded me of a traditional shop curtain. The scene seemed to dance beautifully, as if urging my heart to quicken. The retro exterior of the milk stand made it feel as if time had stopped, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in the depths of my heart. I picked up a bottle of Shinshu Azumino milk and placed my order gently. It felt as if time had momentarily stood still. As the milk bottle was handed to me, its fresh scent wafted in, enveloping my heart in nostalgia for days long gone. The cold bottle that my fingers touched gave a fleeting yet beautiful sensation, reminiscent of wind chimes. In the serene space, my wife and I drank the milk together. The smooth texture that spread in my mouth felt like a gentle melody touching the strings of my heart. Setting itself apart from the hustle and bustle of the station, the place seemed to invite us to a different world within time. After finishing the milk and returning the bottle, I looked around and saw passengers who had just gotten off the train gathering around the milk vending machines. Their demeanor seemed as if they were being drawn to the enchanting allure. Standing in front of the four milk-specific vending machines, I chose Oyama Shirabara milk and inserted coins. As I sipped through a straw, savoring each drop, I felt as though a love poem was being played in my heart.

Transfer at Ueno and head to Akihabara. Even if you miss one train, stop by the milk stand for some milk. There are so many varieties to choose from. Today I tried the rich Crown milk. It has a strong sweetness and is delicious. Milk tastes good when you drink it occasionally. Thank you for the meal.

It's been a while since I visited Akihabara Station! Oh, it looks like it has been renovated quite nicely! Oh, what happened to that store? Did it close down due to the renovation? don't worry, it's still there! (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*) Great!! Milk stands used to be found in various stations, but recently you only see them at Akihabara Station. In the Showa era, the energy drink was milk! There was also one at my local Tsurumi Station♪ A milk stand at Akihabara Station that has been around since the Showa era! I'm glad it's still open!! I had my usual strawberry milk! I drank it all at once with my hand on my hip! Delicious~♪ (￣ﾉ日￣) ｸﾞﾋﾞｸﾞﾋﾞ Thank you for the meal. Don't forget to return the empty bottle to the store! (≧∇≦)/ Hahaha

Milk Stand with lightning-fast service. There are two stores on both platforms of Akihabara Station on the Sobu Line. They offer various types of milk, fruit milk, coffee milk, vegetable juice, and more, including items that are hard to find elsewhere. The prices are reasonable, which is appreciated. The nostalgic atmosphere, combined with the wide variety of products, attracts visitors to take commemorative photos. Stop by for a quick drink while visiting Akihabara. They also have pastries, so you can easily replenish your nutrients while standing and drinking. The staff efficiently handle orders with great speed, which is quite impressive. Remember to return your empty bottle to the counter instead of leaving it on the outdoor table. A small gesture of thanks along with your meal. ✨

There is a shop on platform 5 of the Sobu Line that specializes in milk products. They have various types of milk, including fruit milk and coffee milk. I had a refreshing cup of Hida milk for 150 yen, perfect for a quick calcium boost. The labels and lids are peeled off efficiently. While carbonated drinks are nice on hot days, cold milk is also delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I recently transferred from the Chiba line to the Yamanote line at Akihabara station. As I got off the Chiba line, I saw the shop "Bread and Milk Shop Milk Stand" right in front of me. In the past, I used to drink coffee milk every time I passed by, but recently I haven't seen it. This time at "Bread and Milk Shop Milk Stand," I tried the "Special Selection Oyama Delicious Milk 180ml, 170 yen." The sign had furigana to help people read "Oyama" as many may not know how to read it. It is advertised as "High-quality special milk with a rich and delicious taste, made with 100% fresh milk." It is made from high-quality "special milk" collected from producers with excellent milk quality in Tottori Prefecture. It was very rich and delicious milk.

I changed trains at Ueno Station and headed to Ameyoko while feeling someone pulling my hair from behind. I missed my train by just one, so I decided to drink some milk while waiting. I chose milk from Chiba. Milk in a bottle tastes delicious. It's properly sweet. It's been a while since I drank milk. It's nice that I can easily stop by and drink it at the milk stand. Thank you for the meal.

I went to "Atre Akihabara 1," a shopping building directly connected to Akihabara Station, and had an extremely spicy curry. My tongue was burning and sweat was pouring from my head, but the delicious milk I drank at the milk stand afterwards was heavenly delicious. So, even while eating the extremely spicy curry, I was looking forward to going to the milk stand. I entered Akihabara Station from the Electric Town exit, took the escalator up to the Sobu Line Mitaka direction platform. I walked all the way towards Ochanomizu, about in front of car 7, and there it was, the paradise after the spicy curry - the milk stand! Without hesitation, I ordered "delicious milk" and paid with my Suica card. It only cost 180 yen! To experience such heavenly happiness for just 180 yen is the best! It was delicious! So happy~♪ All's well that ends well!

In Akihabara, after enjoying a curry lunch, the next treat is the milk stand on the JR Sobu Line platform. It's like Indians consuming lassi or yogurt to avoid indigestion. Known for having the best selection in Japan, the milk stand at Akihabara Station on the Sobu Line has one shop on each platform. This time, I visited the stand on platform 5 of the Sobu Line (towards Shinjuku/Mitaka). They offer a variety of options including traditional milk, coffee milk, and about 50 other types. Among the local products and premium milk options, I chose the "Azuki Yogurt" produced by Tsukada Dairy in Niigata Prefecture. The slightly sweet drink with a hint of red bean flavor was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

The store facing the Yamanote Line platform is very convenient. This time, I purchased Kazusa milk for ¥140 (tax included) with my Suica card. It has a rich flavor but is not too heavy, with a refreshing taste. Drinking milk from a bottle truly enhances its deliciousness. When you take the time to savor the milk you drink every day, you realize how truly delicious it is. The first taste I ever experienced was the sweet and nutritious milk from my mother's breast. I have come to realize that the basis of taste lies in the meals provided by our mothers. In the harsh reality of modern society, we seek sweet solace and comfort. I praised the all-purpose drink essential for maintaining health.

Convenient charging station for nutrients at Akihabara Station on the Sobu Line platform heading towards Mitaka. The stand offers traditional bottled milk and a wide variety of menu items that never fail to surprise and delight. They even have green juice, which is essential for good health.

I realized it had been 6 years since I last had a quick calcium supplement. Sometimes I crave milk out of the blue, and if that happens when I'm out, what should I do... But it's okay if I'm in Akihabara. I can just run to this place on the Sobu Line platform and problem solved! The store isn't packed, but there's a constant stream of customers coming in. I ordered the limited edition Aso no Shizuku (\200 including tax) from a somewhat unenthusiastic staff member and paid with my Suica. It comes in a plastic case so you can take it with you, but I decided to drink it on the spot. The milk from Kumamoto is advertised as having a high fat content, but it actually has a light taste. You can still feel a bit of fat lingering in the back of your throat. So, my impression was also light. I returned the empty container and left the store. It's a milk stand on the Shinjuku-bound platform in Akihabara. Thank you for the meal.

When I entered this milk stand that I hadn't visited in over 10 years, I found milk from all over the country, even including green juice... And the first milk I tried was a limited edition from 5 farms producing Hida milk, pasteurized at low temperature. Then, I was directed to another stand called Luck, which offers carefully selected milk from 6 farms in Azumino, Shinshu. And the third one was a sister product of everyone's milk, produced by Toho Rakuno, pasteurized at 63°C (milk with cream on top). It's a bit sweeter due to the cream, but it's definitely milk. Of course, it's always sold out. I'll have to aim for it next time when it's in stock, as the arrival date is written. We, the exploration team, are always on the lookout for delicious milk. When we go to Mt. Yatsugatake, we seek milk and soft serve ice cream at the ranch, and after enjoying three rounds of hot springs at the public bath, we opt for milk instead of beer. Although we don't drink milk during sauna sessions to save room for beer. ^ ^

For over 10 years, I have been taking the yellow train to Mitaka and Nakano, changing to the Yamanote Line at Akihabara. I always pass by this milk stand on my way to the escalator for the Yamanote Line and Keihin-Tohoku Line. I am always in a rush, but sometimes I see people enjoying anpan and milk for breakfast, and I think to myself, "If only I had come here 10 minutes earlier, I could have had that too." In the evening, I happened to pass by the milk stand on my way to Yurakucho. The train always has the same carriages, but this time it's different from the morning - it's still anpan and milk for a snack. I wonder what kind of milk they have here. We are like explorers on a quest for delicious milk. When we go to Mount Yatsugatake, we seek milk and soft serve ice cream at the ranch, and after enjoying a three-round hot spring bath at the public bath, we drink milk instead of beer. I don't drink milk in the sauna to save room for beer. This time, I took a closer look at the variety of milk available - anpan and uguisu bread on the top shelf, and various types of milk below, from major manufacturers like Hida Milk and Chiba Milk to coffee milk, fruit milk, drinking yogurt, and even a bottle of green juice. There's even amazake. There must be many different types besides those from major manufacturers. When you order, the staff hands you a special opener to open the bottle, and you drink it on the table at either end. Then you return the bottle to the staff. On hot days like today, they even write "milk for heatstroke prevention" on the bottles. I tried the limited edition Hida Milk produced by 5 farms. It's limited, so I'm weak for it. Hmm, it tastes sweeter probably because of the heat. Drinking milk from a bottle is so satisfying. If you buy a lot of milk and drink it, your stomach will feel... so you have to drink one at a time. It might be tough in the morning, but it's also a hassle to come all the way to the opposite platform on the way back. Well, let's take our time and complete the collection. The brands are lined up like a menu on top, but they might be sold out. This could be an enjoyable experience at 160 yen per bottle...

After leaving the visit to the traditional coffee shop, I decided to take a different route back home. I changed trains at Akihabara to the Sobu Local Line and then took the subway Namboku Line from Iidabashi. Let's have a drink at this place on the platform of Akihabara Station, "Pan to Gyunyu no Mise Milk Stand." This shop sells various local milks from all over Japan, and it doesn't look like a typical station shop at all. You can enjoy your favorite milk brands here, whether it's what you usually drink or something unique that you don't often get to try. This time, I tried the "Northern Alps Select Milk" from Hida Milk for 160 yen. The staff at the shop removes the packaging before serving it, so you don't know the brand, but it was delicious! Milk is usually associated with drinking at home, during school lunches, or at public baths, but you can also enjoy it on the train platform. Shops like this are gradually disappearing, so I hope they can continue for as long as possible. Thank you for the meal.

It was unusual to have some time to wait on the platform with a limited express train passing by. I noticed a milk stand? with all the drinks in bottles, which looked nice. It wasn't too cold, but I felt a bit thirsty, so I decided to get one. I couldn't decide which one to choose the more I looked at them. The staff efficiently peeled off the film, opened the lid, and handed it to me. I drank it at the small table on the side, and wow! It was a long time since I had bottled yogurt, and it was so delicious! Thank you for the meal!

The miraculous milk stand train that still exists attracts customers every time it arrives. People waiting for the train also come. They offer a variety of milk flavors such as strawberry, coffee, and fruit, as well as dozens of types of bread like cream buns, jam buns, and menchi-katsu donuts. I decided to try the red bean yogurt. It's a slightly red bean-colored drinking yogurt that tastes a bit sour.
