There is a standing bar called Tasuichi in the direction of Shibuya Center street. This bar is very popular with foreigners. 20% of the customer is Japanese, and the remaining 80% are foreigners. What makes Tasuichi different from other bars is that you can quickly make friends with strangers. Japan doesn't really have a culture where customers get along with each other, but Tasuichi is an exception. Everyone talks to me in a friendly manner. They won't give you a bad look if you start a conversation. Therefore, it is especially recommended for those who want to interact with foreigners and Japanese people. The Japanese who visit Tasuichi are relatively open-minded, so you'll be able to hit it of with them.
Good cost performance
Tasuichi's prices are low compared to other bars. You can drink highballs and sours for just 400 yen.
The food is also popular for being cheap and delicious. There is a wide variety of menu items that go well with alcohol, such as pizza, fried chicken, and edamame.
Prices are based on the cash-on system. Of course you can also use credits.
High repeat customer rate
Tasuichi is popular among regulars, some of whom come every day. I guess that's how comfortable it is. There are a lot of people after 8pm, and it's easy to make friends with regular customers and others. I once went to a shisha bar with someone I became friends with at Tasuichi. There is a stylish shisha bar in front of Tasuichi, and this bar is quiet and calm, so you can relax and talk.
Views vary depending on the person
The disadvantages of Tasuichi are that you can't sit down and it's noisy. Whether or not you feel this is a drawback varies from person to person. On the other hand, standing and drinking makes it easier to get along with other people, which can be said to be a great thing. If you find Tasuichi's interior too noisy, it might be a good idea to go to a more laid-back store like the one I introduced just now.
My daily routine is to go to a nightclub after Tasuichi. Get drunk at a bar and enjoy club music. This would be the perfect night play.

Experiences at Tasuichi
The day I met up with a friend. Since I had some free time before my meeting, I went to Tasuichi by myself. First of all, I ordered the sweet alcoholic beverage ``Malibu Pine''. While I was drinking and playing with my smartphone, a foreign man approached me.
He saw the logo on my outerwear and said, ``This is from a famous video game.'' The man is a handsome from Australia. He has been traveling to Japan alone for about a month. He recently visited Tokyo after visiting Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Osaka, Nagoya, and Kyoto. He will return to Nagasaki again to celebrate the new year. After Japan, he will go to South Korea and then return to Australia. I thought what a free life this man had. There aren't many Japanese people who travel abroad, so it's a good stimulus to meet such free-spirited foreigners.
Tasuichi's place
Tasuichi is located at the back of Shibuya Center street. There are many Japanese style pub, bars and adult play areas in the surrounding.
