At Shukatsu Snack Mementomori, unique experiences such as end-of-life planning, a hostess bar, and coffins await you.
“End-of-life planning hostess bar” where you can talk freely about “Life” and “Death”.
The bar’s decor is a collaboration with “Tokyo Grave,” the brand by designer Mikako Fuse, known for stylish mortuary items. The vibrant and colorful decor is inspired by Mexico’s Day of the Dead celebrations, creating a unique and lively atmosphere.
The menu features many locally sourced ingredients, and the selection of alcoholic beverages is as extensive as that of a bar.
The owner is a wine enthusiast and avid traveler who personally sources all her products. The drink menu is incredibly diverse, and they offer whiskey lovers a bottle-keeping service. I was pleasantly surprised to find premium champagne, Cognac, and even Okinawan rum!

In Japanese snack bars, it is common for hostesses to engage in conversation with customers and pour drinks as part of the entertainment. Snack bars place as much emphasis on interaction and entertainment as they do on drinking.
Yokojukkengawa Brewery Gahaha Beer
Gahaha beer is a craft beer produced in the Toyocho district. Ms. Murata (the owner) takes great pride in offering local products.
Gin and soda made with gin from Fukagawa Distillery
The Fukugawa distillery, another local enterprise, stands out for employing ancient distillation techniques using custom-designed stills of their own creation.
Write your views on life and death on a sticky note and attach it to the board.
As the proverb goes, “Spoken words fly away, written words remain,” so why not immortalize your evening with a little message?
Colorful and unique coffins and funeral goods
While it’s natural to think of death as a dark and sad event, at Shukatsu Snack Mementomori, it’s quite the opposite. Thanks to the kindness and cheerfulness of the hostess, it becomes an unforgettable experience, with a lively and warm atmosphere!
