100円 nomihoudai

I admire the reporter's resolve to personally investigate this story for us. It's at Volks.

"Between 2 and 7 p.m., 100 yen will get you 10 minutes of all-you-can-drink alcoholic beverages, with 10 minute extensions costing an additional 100 yen each. The menu for the deal includes Asashi Super Dry draft beer (in large, medium, or small glasses), whisky highballs, shochu, shochu sour cocktails (lemon and grapefruit flavors), plum wine cocktails, and finally, red or white wine (in glasses or decanters)."

I agree about the level of overindulgence to be expected.

I also notice that sake is not included. At least umeshu is. I can't handle shochu.

Not surprised no sake, as it's a western style beef place. I also used to not like shochu, but recently my brother-in-law has opened my eyes. On ice or mixed with hot water really opens up the flavors. I've been (pleasantly) surprised.

On the other hand, as much shochu as I can drink in 10 minutes is not going to end well.

Is it only me when I first saw the title I read 100円 momihoudai(もみ放題)? 100 yen is such a bargain even for Yoshiwara (吉原) in Taito ward of Tokyo.

Yoshiwara in Taito ward of Tokyo, finally useful information about Tokyo on FlyerTalk!

I hope this doesn't ruin it for you, but most umeshu (especially what you'd find at a place like Volk's) is made from shochu.

I thought the umeshu from Volk's was made from methyl alcohol.
