Araki-cho Town collects in the bottom of the gorge 
We sublimate with liquor for a person's sense.

Araki-cho Town which was entertainment district once. Small bars line up in cedar Daimon Street in the town block, the cart drawer gate street closely, and hand of redevelopment does not grow so much, too. Popular part is image called town of adult that we walk, but few liquor knows frivolity.

Though it is small area, as for pitch differences and land, pond of the measures that were scenic spot once still remains in the bottom of the gorge which became hollow intensely, and alley and stairs which are thin to surround that are set up like maze. When we are out of bar street and go down slope, as for the light of shop, it is not completely little by little in residential area though there becomes few. Town which fried butcher shop and well-known stores of ramen shop stand in a row along Gaien-Higashi-dori St. running through the town, and is hard to get full picture. We take a walk, and it is certain that it is delightful town before drinking.

There is building called the second fern with white-backed leaves building where tiling of entrance is very beautiful in alley under slope near Yasukuni Dori of town loser (the name of building is good), and, judging from the seriousness degree, bar "offbeat" in the depths is approximately "real curry shop". With exquisite Indian curry, combination of tori risoroenoii sake is good unexpectedly for some reason.

We go up slope slowly and come back to the middle of town and perform to "Buddhist priest bar" which completely settled in town. Here where active Buddhist priest acts as master is opening 16 years. We completely colonized, but are fully equipped with Buddhist altar in shop, and iromon-like (rudeness) part which sermon listens to is active energetically. It was preached kindly when we enjoyed color that was heaven of the most popular cocktail "Buddhists' paradise" when liquor collected below when we did not stir.

The last "dagaya", also known as "on the rocks mission." We touch playful paste of "leader" whom Nagoya master from does not become to listen to on the rocks by rather heavy sound in basement where vintage guitar was lighted up. Leader whom he/she plays for well while being embarrassed if we ask for own composition. Araki-cho Town has a look like brusque adult and is town accepting anyone.

Play at night is nya moderately, too
