You can get both japanese bottled craft beer and giant german style steins of your more prosaic varietals(asahi/sapporo/kirin) in a pretty neat space. There’s kind of a split in the crowd between backpackers and japanese locals too.

You really neat international café on the first floor of a hostel. While this review is about the café, let me first talk about the hostel. What kind of image you have of a Hostel? Perhaps I’m insulting some people, but my image hostel is dirty and ghetto. After all, people go there because they cannot afford a regular hotel, right? I really don’t want to hang out at a café with people whom haven’t showered for weeks. Well, that is what I thought, until I came here. The hostel housed in this building is hip and cool. Cool backpackers hangout here. I think they shower at least once a week. We requested a tour of the hostel and saw the rooms. It was small, but clean and fashionable. I don’t remember the exact price, but private rooms weren’t much cheaper than a regular business hotel, while the shared dormitories were a bit cheaper. So why would somebody want to stay at this hostel? They want to socialize with other travelers! Hence, a café on the first floor!!! Ah, it makes sense. As you can see from my pictures, the café/bar is very trendy and nice. During the day, most of the people are drinking coffee, while at night, it feels more like a bar. I really love the high table without the chairs, which is great for a social outing. BEER: They do have three kinds of beer on tap, but they are all major brands. They do carry craft beers, but only in a bottle. Perhaps I was unlucky, the one bottle I got tasted old. FOOD: They only have simple food, so I wouldn’t go here for dinner. The only substantial food was pizza. AWKWARD: While I loved everything about this place, the only weird feeling was about their service. After paying for my drinks and finger food, I asked for a receipt. He asked, «Do you really want a receipt?» I answered, «Yes, please.» He asked again, «Do you really, really want a receipt?» I answered, «Yes I would.» He said, «We normally do not print a receipt.» I answered, «Can I have a receipt?» He then finally printed a receipt. What was this about? Are they super eco friendly? Is printing a receipt killing plants? It was a really small piece of paper. Well, this did not kill my whole experience, so I will recommend this place.
