Could this be the best alcohol vending machine in the whole of Tokyo? Occupying a perch just up the street from the Daikanyama Address building, this marvel of egalitarianism caters to booze snobs and cheapskates alike. Selections range from Ozeki One-Cup sake (¥230), the tipple of choice for that old guy who sits on the bench in the local park all day muttering to himself, to classy beers like Japanese microbrew Ginka Kogen Komugi (¥260) and Belgian triple ale Gulden Draak (¥600).
