Would love to give mesm a try the next time I'm in Tokyo. I wonder if the happy hour alcohol-on-Saturdays only is a temporary measure in light of COVID, as I've never heard of a lounge offering free drinks on certain days only.

Given the bleak outlook for the hospitality industry I would not be surprised if PG would reconsider this and allow Plt+ into the lounge. This decision was made in a totally different economic environment where the marginal elite stay did not have that much impact on revenue.
