A Japan Photo per Day

Sake Vending Machine

Aug 2, 2010 | 40 feedbacks »

If two days ago I was writing about an old sake store, today I discovered what is probably the most modern way to sale sake…
You guessed, a Sake vending machine! The machine offers two types of 180ml sake cups, at 200¥ and 220¥.
Interesting, this is the only vending machine I’ve seen here fitted with a security chain!

@Muzachan A vending machine was the supplemental way to sell sake when a shop closed in the night time, before convenience store flourish.

@thomas: I think so too... or maybe they're afraid that someone likes the products too much! :D

@Carmen Henesy: Yes, it's the normal evolution :D

@Joey1058: Well, I saw it early in the morning and it was operational :D

@freedomwv: Now that you mentioned it, I noticed fewer beer vending machines than 3 years ago...

Sadly, alcohol in vending machines are slowly fading away. I still remember when they were all over the place. That was only 8 years ago!

I'm wondering if the machine only operates at certain times of the day?

It must be doing good sales to need a chain like that.
