～”Kamiya Bar” and “Hachibudo Sake”～
“Kamiya Bar”, Japan’s first bar, is located in Asakusa 1-chome 1st, and has been popular with customers who want to enjoy alcohol and experience the downtown atmosphere for about 140 years.

“Hachibudo sake” is an improved version of Japan’s first sweet wine, “Hachijirushi Kouzan Budoshu,” to suit the tastes of the common people. Based on red and white wine, it is a blend of herbal extracts and sugar, and you can enjoy its unique aroma and faint sweetness. “Hachijirushi Koraku Budoshu” is a sweet fruit liqueur created in 1881 by Denbei Kamiya, who added honey and Chinese herbal medicine to imported wine to make it more palatable to Japanese people. In addition to newspaper advertisements, which were still rare at the time, it was widely used for outdoor advertisements such as billboards and wrapping advertisements on trains, and by around 1900, it had become a nationwide product. In 1927, Hachijirushi Koraku Budoshu changed its name to Hachibudoshu in 1927, and then to Hachibudoshu in 1958, and continues to be loved by many people today. .
We hope that “Asakusa Punch Hachibudo Punch” will spread the appeal of “Kamiya Bar” and “Hachibudo Sake” to many people throughout the country.
