Japan's alcohol laws are equal parts fascinating and odd, including being able to drink in a moving car, and bring open containers almost anywhere in public. whiskey cocktails Japan
from establishments comparable to Western gastropubs to upscale cocktail haunts, whiskey-focused “shot bars” and even public bars that offer zero seating and dispense all drinks from vending machines. One has no shortage of options, in terms of places to drink.
However, the idea of “public consumption” in Japan goes even further than you’re probably imagining. Drinking in public transportation, for example, is also legal—booze is sold on the famed shinkansen system of high-speed rail, and it’s not illegal to swig from a hip flask on the train, or even a public bus. Perhaps most astoundingly, though, drinking on modes of private transportation such as cars isfor everyone but the driver.

The pandemic only accelerated these trends, especially among younger consumers, as culturally exemplified by the “sober curious” movement.
