buri Stand Bar & Restaurant — Restaurant in Tokyo

Excellent casual drinks.

Short walk from ebisu station, this bar is easy enough to find. The staff welcome you in quickly enough and ordering is pretty straight forward from the menu.

They are happy to give advice on good drinks (sweet, dry etc) based on the mood you are in and will even use some English to make it as simple as possible. This is especially appreciated as they have one of the best nihonshu (sake) rich menus you can find in Tokyo.

There are some seats but most folk drink at the bar standing.

While the food is great most people come for the variety of sake.

My thoughts: This is great for tourists looking to try some good Japanese food or drink in a casual venue. Try the sake, try some yakitori,...

This place is so unique, the vibe is so chill and I the service is top notch. There are so many options for cups of sake which is a good majority of their menu. When they bring the sake cup to your table they shake it and due to it being so cold it turns into almost a slush. We didn’t get any food but I saw a grill behind the bar. The workers were so nice and helpful, I was interested in some empty sake cups with designs on them and they let me take them home and they even washed them and put it in...

Very cool standing sake bar. They have lots of “frozen sake” options for you to try - all come in the standard sake cup size. The food is nice too. The service staff are very friendly and helpful, and speak some English too. Very pleasant. There is a cool wall on the inside where the bathroom is covered with sake cups. The place is a bit small and can feel somewhat cramped when busy. Come place for a quick drink but not for staying...
