Hokkaido Bar Gyu, a mysterious bar hidden behind a vending machine

When it comes to winter, the first place that comes to mind is Hokkaido, which is very suitable for hot springs and skiing! But recently, I was crazy about a bar that is only open in winter! Friends who plan to go to Hokkaido this winter must add it to their wish list!

✨Environment✨
The most attractive place for this store is the entrance. The door is actually transformed from an old vending machine. It looks very interesting. When passing by, I couldn't help but want to open the door to see what is hidden here. The moment I opened the door, it was like traveling to the world of anime. Although the space in the store is not very large, it is full of atmosphere, especially the super large floor-to-ceiling window, where you can see the snow-capped forest landscape. It is very comfortable to sit with friends at night

🍣Food
There are many kinds of cocktails, whiskeys, beers, etc. in the store. The menu is hand-painted by the store owner himself, just like reading a comic. Even if you don't understand Japanese, you don't have to worry! The price of drinks is reasonable and the taste is good. The music played in the store is perfect for the quiet night. There are also some snacks to taste, such as fried chicken platter, salmon, etc. They all taste good.
