Unique Ladies' Day at Iguchi Shiki: A Celebration for Women
On July 31, 2025, Kameido's standing bar, Iguchi Shiki, will host a special event dedicated solely to women, dubbed "Ladies' Day." Located at 6-24-8 Kameido, this event marks a rare opportunity as it's uncommon to find standing bars that enforce a women-only entry policy. Women have recently expressed interest in visiting standing bars, yet many feel hesitant to step into environments often dominated by male patrons. The chance to congregate in a welcoming space, where conversation flows freely among women, makes this event particularly appealing.
Breaking Down Barriers for Women
Females looking to enjoy a drink have shared sentiments of wanting to experience standing bars but feeling intimidated by the regular male customer base. Many prefer mingling without the pressure of unwanted attention, and the establishment's unique women-only occasion will cater to these desires. Iguchi Shiki, managed by the talented and determined woman, Yoko, is addressing this challenge head-on as it approaches its fifth anniversary in April 2025.
A Landmark Celebration of Five Years
Established in 2020, Iguchi Shiki stands out as the only standing bar in Kameido run by a female owner. The intimate space holds a counter that accommodates around five to six guests, with a cozy area in the back designed for small gatherings. Due to the bar's limited size, group visits may be restricted to maintain comfort for all attendees. Iguchi Shiki welcomes individuals and pairs, allowing them to participate in an unrivaled experience.
The bar's drink selection spans from the beloved Kiiro shochu highball to an array of assorted chuhai (Japanese cocktails), as well as affordable and delightful options in sake and wine. Furthermore, for those craving quality cuisine, a variety of daily changing small dishes are always available, featuring over 20 different selections prepared with seasonal ingredients, particularly appealing to women. The special "Yasai Nomi" (vegetable drinking) menu specifically highlights a focus on fresh veggies.
No Specials, Just Pure Enjoyment
During Ladies' Day, patrons can expect an authentic experience without any flashy promotions or discounts. The atmosphere remains unmistakably that of a typical standing bar. The only difference: a homely environment with women enjoying themselves among fellow female patrons and the welcoming owner, Yoko.
The event encourages newcomers to explore standing bars without reservations or the urge to impress. It aims to inspire women to feel that standing bars can indeed be enjoyable. For those who might feel hesitant about ordering drinks in a cash-on basis or standing solo at the counter, this evening serves as a delightful introduction to this laid-back cultural experience.
If this initial event receives positive feedback, Iguchi Shiki plans to hold Ladies' Day on an irregular basis in the future. The idea is to cultivate an inclusive ambiance in which standing bars are seen as welcoming to everyone, and where this evolution begins with women.
