Nomikai Parties
Akabane OK Yokocho is famous for the workers due to a specific reason. After working very hard for most of the day, these workers find a place to relax. The best way for relaxing for these workers is by arranging Nomikai parties.
Nomikai is a small drinking party in which the workers gather around with their colleagues. These workers drink at Izakaya. Izakaya is a Japanese bar-restaurant. During Izakaya, the workers drink to relieve their stress. They complain about their workplace, their bosses and other tensions of the day during the Nomikai and when they feel calm, they get back to their houses for a nice sleep.
There is a saying in Akabane ‘everything that’s OK to drink and eat’. OK Yokocho is like a heaven to the Tokyo workers. It has more than 20 Izakaya where the workers hold Nomikai regularly. If you can’t afford to visit luxurious restaurants and cafés, you should visit Akabane OK Yokocho for enjoying with your friends.
