Although located in Yanaka, quite far from the Ueno Shitamachi Museum, this century old sake store is in fact an annex of the museum. It is a representative building for its kind, a sake store built in 1910, at the end of the Meiji Period.

The entire neighborhood has the old Shitamachi atmosphere, and the Yoshida sake store is well worth a visit if you would like to stroll through one of the oldest neighborhoods of Tokyo.
