When I lived in Togoshi Ginza 30+ years ago there was a great sento opposite my block of flats. Sadly it's been knocked down and turned into another block of flats now as I discovered when I ran past it a few years ago.

I'm so glad someone is doing the good work of keeping the memories alive when the buildings go and trying to keep the buildings going too.

Since I'm a new subscriber, I'd never heard of kakuuchi before, but I recognize the places. Some of Yoshida Rui's Sakaba visits on BS-TBS go to these places, most recently I recall seeing him visit one in IIRC Yokosuka.

The wife and I are great fans of their close relative the tachinomiya. Those google maps will usually show if you search your local area for 立ち飲み屋, but not always but google really doesn't understand. Now I know the name I see that 角打ち in google maps does a decent job of finding them too. Next time I'm in a bigger city we will try them for a zero-jikai
