Liquor Shop This vending machine is locates close to the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo. You can purchase different types and sizes of cold beer at this machine. To access the shown machine you need a so called Sake Pass (酒パス), because the legal drinking age in Japan is 20. The Sake Pass is issued by the city hall. If you travel outside of Tokyo you still find machines without a Skae Pass protection. Indoor places have often alcohol vending machines without the Sake Pass authorization.
Beer Vending Machine Installed In London Pub
And now we have it! The introduction in a London pub, of the first beer vending machine to be installed in the UK. No further need to even talk to the friendly, highly-trained, knowledgeable and interesting person behind the bar when getting your beverage. Instead, you can simply put your pound coins into a machine, return to a lonely corner of the pub and sip your vended ale, and not talk to anyone all before going home to eat a pre packed dinner from Tesco. I’m all for innovation but surely this Japanese-inspired machine is not the way forward? Apparently, in Japan these machines are hugely popular, and reputedly Japan has a 1 to 50 ratio of vending machines to humans - the highest ratio on the planet. I rather like talking to the Governor in the pub; so not too sure it will lift off in the Cotswolds! Martin Read CMBII Managing Director of www.inn-dispensable.com Personal Licence Courses
