After work, make a toast at Tokyo Station! Gransta Tokyo 3 recommended places to go...

First, let me introduce you to Hitachino Brewing Marunouchi. This store is located near the Marunouchi North Exit ticket gates. The cute owl logo invites you inside, where you will find a relaxing atmosphere. The store is easy to enter, and many female customers are said to frequent it.
Here you can enjoy a food menu that focuses on ingredients produced in Hitachino (Ibaraki Prefecture), using beef and pork, and pairing them with beer to enjoy the delicacies of Hitachino.

Only at a directly managed restaurant can you enjoy about 10 varieties of Hitachino Nest beer on draft, ranging from standard to seasonal specials, all of which are born in Ibaraki Prefecture's sake brewing industry. It is hard to decide which one to drink first! In such a case, one way is to ask for a recommendation! The staff recommends the Yuzu Lager, which has a refreshing sourness derived from domestic yuzu citrus and the sharpness of lager. In addition, there are many other recommended items from snacks to desserts, such as assorted homemade ham, a Hitachiniku mackerel sandwich, and daikagaku imo (sweet potato) with vanilla ice cream!
Another great attraction is that you can enjoy coffee in the morning, light meals in the afternoon, and cocktails made with craft spirits in the evening, all day long! The eco-friendly space is perfect for those who want to take a break or have a long drink. Enjoy Japan's representative craft beers at your fingertips♪

Passing through the Marunouchi underground central ticket gate and walking toward the meeting spot Silver Bell, you will find Hasegawa Sake Shop Gransta Tokyo Store. Unusually for a liquor store in an echinaka, this store has both a sales corner and a tasting corner. The first thing that catches the eye after passing the sake sales corner, which is crowded with many customers, are the tanks inside the glass walls. This is where the brewery is located and where the sake is made! This is the only sake made in a train station in the world, and since it is also sold inside the store, it would make a great souvenir. If your timing is good, you can enjoy freshly brewed fresh doburoku and liqueurs at the tasting corner in the store!

Sake released in the summer is called "summer sake," and many of them have a refreshing flavor perfect for the hot summer. Many of the bottles have cool designs that make you want to pick one up. At the tasting corner, you can always enjoy five or six different kinds of sake, which change daily. If you find something you like, you can pick it up at the sales corner next door, which is also a big attraction.
Let's get your trip off to a good start with a delicious sake before boarding the Shinkansen♪

Lastly, we would like to introduce Kitade TACOS, located in the area opened in 2020, which is popular for its authentic Mexican food even though it is located in Ekinaka! The cute interior of the restaurant looks like a stylish foreign restaurant.

It is a wonder that even if you don't have an appetite, you can still enjoy a light meal of tacos! The most popular tacos are the three kinds of meat tacos, but we recommend the spicy shrimp tacos. These tacos are filled with grilled shrimp tossed in a smoky smoked chili salsa, perfect for the hot summer months!
There are many drinks to go with the tacos, including Mexican beer and cocktails made with tequila! There are also non-alcoholic drinks made with Mexican key lime, and many other menu items that you cannot find anywhere else.
Why don't you enjoy the feeling of being overseas at Ekinka?
