If you like a glass of wine everyday or a cocktail every evening, your weekly tipple bill soon mounts up. Here's a short, quietly expanding, list of discount wine, import beer, and liquor chain stores in the Tokyo area.
| Isobeya |

Go to the back of the drug store on the first floor and you'll find the staircase to this hidden liquor store. Once you've bought here, you won't want to go anywhere else. And the price includes tax--so there are no hidden extras. For people who can't make it to this store--my sincere apologies. Zubrowka vodka is just 430 yen a bottle. Wine specials worth watching too.
