Akihabara

The sound system is really weighty, so it’s a great place to feel the full force of the performance. BOSSSTON CRUIZING MANIA—a band that includes one of the staff, Kashima-san—plays here sometimes and is really cool in a “dubby” way. And the Alternative Eleki-Town event, which showcases off-kilter indie rock bands, is always hot if you can catch it. Even when diluted with water, the Japanese shochu they serve at the bar here is really strong and delicious!
