Milk Shop Luck Akihabara — Local services in Tokyo

We stumbled upon this hidden gem at Akihabara Station completely by chance — and what a happy accident it was! We happened to alight at Platform 6 and spotted the milk shop tucked away there. Google had said it wasn’t open on Saturdays, so we didn’t expect to find it — but turns out, Google was wrong (thankfully!).

The milk was incredibly fresh, creamy, and surprisingly affordable. It had that pure, clean taste that only high-quality dairy has — no frills, just really good milk. We loved it so much, we made it a point to come back again on our way home.

Anyway, even with the difficult communication, the milks were so fresh! If you're a fan of milk, this is worth to try when you're passing using the JR line.

My only bad experience in Japan in my entire trip because of the rude lady working there who clearly hates people who cannot speak Japanese. I couldn’t choose which milk to try because the menu is only in Japanese (understandable) so I was trying to use google lens to translate so I could make a decision, and got yelled at by the clerk “NO PHOTOS!!!” When I tried to explain what I was doing she just kept making X signs with her arms and clearly did not want me there despite the fact that I only wanted to sample different kinds of milk from all over and wanted to know what I would be ordering This place is not friendly to tourists and I would never...
