    When traveling in Japan, you sometimes come across little shops with a lot of character, and Milk Stand is one of them! The tiny shop is right inside the station. It doesn't have any fancy decor, but it has an authentic, everyday Japanese feel.

    The most interesting part is simply buying a bottle of cold milk and drinking it. It's simple, but it feels like a little ritual. The cold milk goes down smoothly, and its light milky flavor is very pleasant. A bottle is just right when you're tired from walking around.

    I really like this small Japanese experience of “drinking milk at the station,” especially taking pictures with the glass bottle. It has a nostalgic Showa-era feel.

    Grab a bottle of milk before your train arrives!
    This milk specialty shop inside JR Akihabara Station brings together bottled milk from all over Japan. There were so many choices that it was hard to decide, so I started with the winner and runner-up from the milk popularity ranking!
    Hokkaido 4.0 milk was rich and flavorful, while the Shinshu Azumino one was light and smooth. According to the lady at the shop, that one was the previous year's No. 1, and I liked it better too.
    There’s also a row of vending machines next to the shop where you can buy regional limited-edition milk. I honestly recommend trying Fukushima’s Rakuo, especially the coffee au lait!
