This page has been translated by Deepl or google translate. We apologize if any of the nuances are not correct.

Forgive me if this website is a bit wordy. The reason is that what we really want to talk about when you come here is beyond our ability to speak English, so here it is.

We will eventually improve it to make it a little easier to read, so please forgive us.

 However, as expected, it is full of text, so I would like to organize the contents as soon as possible.

January 2026 postscript

 I was trying to reduce the number of characters, but recently it has increased even more. I'm sorry.

The reason is that, although I'm grateful to have visitors from many countries around the world who come to this bar, I've recently come to feel strongly that ways of thinking and the use of words differ depending on the country. So, in order to avoid misunderstandings as much as possible, the number of words has increased as a result.

And remember, this is Japan. Please also understand the rules and important information for this bar in Japan.

Shigeru Ito, owner

It is a privately owned bar

run by my wife and I.

For my beliefs,

for the customers I love,

for the customers who love this bar.

Our reason for living is

the smiles of the people

who love this bar. 

Shigeru & Mayumi Itoh

This is music listening bar. All sound sources are analog records.

（Mainly 60's - 80's rock＆ pop music）

Enjoy alcohol while feeling a deep analog sound.

These are the Information and rules for our valued customers—those who want to enjoy this bar.

Important information ＆ rules

This bar is a quiet and peaceful listening bar for people who love music and drinks.

Please enjoy the music and drinks to your heart's content.

Therefore, the following rules apply:

1) No loud talking

   ; it disturbs others who are listening to the music.

 　Please be considerate of other customers.

2) We do not serve non-alcoholic drinks

   ; this is a place to enjoy alcohol.

Most of the drinks in this bar are spirits.

Spirits are drinks that allow us to share our spirits.

Furthermore, in Japan, sake is also offered to the gods. Sake is a sacred drink that the gods drink.

3) No loitering

   ; it makes other customers uncomfortable.

     This is Japan.

However, of course, it is possible to cheer when one's favorite song is played. We are very happy when you are happy!

Rules regarding photography:

Unauthorized photography is prohibited.

This is not a tourist spot. Taking photos while suddenly entering the bar is prohibited.

This place is like home to us.

Not only do we rent it for our business, but it is also a place designated by the government as our registered address.

(1) Photography is permitted only for those who continue drinking until the flow of customers subsides.

(2) Photography is only permitted for those who have kindly given permission, or for me to go to their table with a record and ask if I can take a picture. This is because such people are those we cherish. However, please understand that I may not be able to go to your table when I am busy or exhausted.

(3) Even during busy times, you are welcome to take photos of your whiskey bottle or cocktail if you ask beforehand. This is considered polite in Japan.

The photos of our staff and customers posted on Instagram are, of course, taken with our permission. Many customers drink continuously from the moment they arrive until closing time, and we are happy to take photos with them as a token of our gratitude.

However, many people visit solely to take pictures, often hindering those who want to enjoy the music and drinks. Also, what about the portrait rights of other people who may be included in the photos? Some people may feel uncomfortable having their pictures taken by strangers.

 Let me be clear to anyone who just wants to take pictures: you're a nuisance here. There are a few people like that, but I will never allow them to take pictures.

Notes.

Regarding reservations

☆We will no longer be accepting same-day reservations.

This is because it takes time to respond to requests every day, which leaves less time for other tasks.

☆I will not be able to reply to messages or emails sent during business hours.

The reply will be the next afternoon.

This does not apply to those who have already been in contact with me and are exchanging emails or messages.

 Please scroll down for information about reservations. You will find a section titled "About Reservations."

★Here's a heads-up, especially for customers in their early twenties

To our customers, especially those from countries without a bar culture, those who only know crowded places, and especially those in their 20s (honestly, this varies greatly depending on the country and ethnicity). And to those who can't put their smartphones down every day.

If none of the above apply to you, please feel free to come by.

1) This is a bar to enjoy music, so please refrain from blasting your smartphones as it may disturb other customers.

2) Taking pictures before being seated or ordering is also prohibited.

Please make sure to check with adults before taking pictures. We will not serve customers who do not behave in a respectful manner. We will ask them to leave promptly. Sometimes we get angry and ask such people to leave.

3) The cover charge is not an admission fee.

There are a few things we would like to bring to your attention, especially if you are in your early twenties do not know the rules and etiquette of how to spend time in bars.

This place is small. Some days, such as weekends, many customers cannot get in. If you occupy a long time, I feel sorry for those who couldn't get in. Even if you have a reservation.

We do not accept those who ask for one drink, stay for a long time, and do not listen to the music.

I have had to ask rude customers to leave many times. On the other hand, recently I have often had to refuse entry to prevent this.

The cover charge is not for staying for a long time with one drink like in cafes or dance clubs. It is a service charge. Therefore, we always ask for song requests from those who spend a normal amount of time with us. For those who ask for drinks many times over, we offer a different service.

 

However, there are many people in their early twenties who are strong-willed and knowledgeable enough that they don't need such warnings.

★Opening days

Monday to Saturday.

However, my wife has the day off every Wednesday.

Please check the calendar as there may be temporary closures depending on the season.

★Closed days
　Please refer to the calendar below.

★OPENING HOURS   
　7:30PM - 12:00AM 

★DOOR CLOSES : Admission time
   Admission is available until the following times:

　9：30 PM ～11:00 PM 

We receive reservations from around 8 PM and many people continue drinking until closing time, so closing time will vary depending on the number of customers and how busy the bar is that day.

From the last entry time until closing time, we will not accept new customers in order to provide courteous service to customers currently in the bar.

Providing hospitality to customers who continue drinking for long periods of time is what gives us meaning in life.

In June, instead of taking a break for Golden Week in May, I will be taking a break from June 14th to 18th. Please note that I will likely be in a location without internet access during this time, so I will not be able to accept reservations.

And on Saturday, June 13th, the bar will be closed to our regular customers for a private event in the evening.

We will be closed on June 4th and 10th. I've been extremely busy for the past six months or so, and my nerves are quite strained, so my doctor advised me to take more time off. I've felt very unwell since late May, so I'll be taking two days off a week for a while.

Also, from June 18th to August, we will be closed on Thursdays and Sundays. I don't have the physical or mental energy to handle the summer heat. Plus, I want to spend more time with my cats at home.

We will continue to be closed on Sundays and Thursdays in July and August.

Also, July 20th is a public holiday, but it's still undecided whether we will be open or closed. I plan to take a break in August or September to purchase whiskey from a regional distillery, so I will update this information once it's decided.

 ☆I started blogging in English from April 10, 2025

We are often asked about our bar and other things, so we will describe them in several blog posts. If you are interested, please read them.

1)10 April 2025.

The first installment is about us and the birth of this bar.

2)5 July 2025.
I was going to write about my musical history, but it would have been quite long, so I wrote first about the sound system in this bar. If you're interested, have a look.

Japan is a country that is strict about time. Please keep that in mind when traveling here. Reservations are also on time.

Please note that anyone who is late for the reservation without contacting us will have their reservation cancelled.

:Recently, several people have arrived extremely late without contacting us and insisted they had a reservation (though most do contact us to let us know they'll be late).

Therefore, we are tightening our rules. 

※We will not be accepting same-day reservations.

It will take time to respond to requests every day, which will leave no time for other work.

※We currently have so many reservations that we are turning away first-time Japanese customers.

Even so, there are still many people who cannot get into the bar.

※Reservations will not be accepted from anyone other than the person making the reservation.

※We don't fill all the seats with reservations.

We have regular Japanese customers who come almost every day, so we keep their spots open.

The counter has a total of 9 seats,

1)by email
I will reply via Gmail.

Your reservation will be complete only after you reply to my Gmail.

If you do not reply, your reservation will not be confirmed.
Also, if you are in a group of four or more, please make sure everyone is aware of the bar's rules and information. In the past, some people have come without sharing any information, treating it like just a party room, and causing trouble for other customers by talking loudly.

We do not accept reservations via this website's dedicated email address, info@33-1-3.com, as we are unable to organize them. This is an address reserved for other business purposes.

2)By Instagram message(DM)

Please mention in your message that you saw our website. 

☆We cannot accept reservation requests (especially Instagram messages) that do not include the above information. Additionally, we are unable to confirm reservation requests made during our business hours, from 7:30pm until closing time.

Please read this website carefully, and we will respond in order to those who make reservations after closing time or for the afternoon of the following day.

Notes.

⑴ Although rare, people who make reservations and do not drink at all, or who try to stay long after they have finished their drinks, are not welcome. If you have done so, I recommend that you go there because there are many large bars. This place is small. Please learn some bar etiquette before you come. If this is not done, reservations will not be accepted in the future.

⑵Repeaters and regulars who have been to this bar before can book to come in after 21:00.

The reason is because of the trust they have with us.

Regulars make reservations every day, but rest assured that everyone is very relaxed.

We welcome people

from

all over the world.

On most days, the counter is filled with two to five regular customers. They are valued customers who doubted the world during the pandemic and came every week regardless of the pandemic. (Some of them are a little loud sometimes, but bear with us.)

But we love all of you from all over the world and welcome you every day.

We look forward to seeing you every day because you understand our love of music, our love of alcoholic beverages, and our enjoyment of this place. We have made some like minded friends all over the world. We have people who have come to Japan many times to visit our bar.

We have learned so much from your actions and atmosphere, and we thank you every day.

(Perhaps this is influenced by my experience of living in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA as a child due to my father's work.)

/////////////////////////////

However, there are those who do not welcome them.

Presumably all of them are people under 25 years old, but we do not welcome people who do not know how to spend time in a bar or who do not have the minimum of good manners.

This is the result of having welcomed all customers for the past year. For example, these are the people who. Noisy groups are out of the question, but they stay so long time in front of an empty glass, they keep looking at their favourite websites on their smartphones instead of enjoying the music, they lie down on the sofas, they persistently ask for requests before anything else (this is a place to drink alcohol, and requests are a service), When they realise that their favourite songs are not available in the bar, they instantly become grumpy and try to listen to them on their smartphones, make loud videophone calls, try to get away with drinking... These are real examples. It is not a matter of which country.

In the past year, many Japanese 20-somethings have done exactly that, so now Japanese 20-somethings refuse to come to this bar.

If in the future too many young people cannot behave themselves, we will have to stop allowing more than two people under the age of 25 to enter.

However, I don't think such people are looking at this page.

☆About Music Requests

After serving drinks, the owner will bring a piece of paper and a pen and you can write down your request if you want.

There is only one reason why we take requests. Because we want you to enjoy yourself even more. It is our couple's living purpose to see the happy customers who are there that day. And since you have come all the way to Japan, we want you to enjoy yourself even more from the bottom of our hearts.

I tries to connect the requested songs, artists, and genres as naturally as possible from the genres, sounds and artists currently playing. Of course, if I'm truly pleased, I will continue with the same genre of music for a while, for example, wonderful soul music from the 60s. (I've listed below what genres of music are available)

Then, based on the request, I will choose a song that I think the person might like, and connect it to the next person's request. It is my pleasure if the guests are pleased with the music and if it leads to the discovery of new music.

The other day, a customer from England gave me a very wonderful and happy review. He said that he had enjoyed his "musical journey". This is exactly what I have been trying to do since I started this bar.

I want people to enjoy a variety of music in this bar, not just the songs they request. Every day, I try to choose music that I think the current customers would like. I try to choose songs that I think the current customers would like.

Many Japanese regulars come here every day, and they come here to enjoy the music playing that day, talking with us, and drinking at this place. And I look forward to hearing what develops today, depending on the requests of those who come from overseas for business or pleasure.

The link button below is part of my record collection. 

Also, before the pandemic, I frequently blogged about records on a variety of subjects.

If you are interested, see the BLOG in this website. It is all written in Japanese, but Google chrome can translate it into various languages. If you click on the section with the subtitle “Record Miscellany,” you can browse blogs on various contents of records.

There are 9 seats of counter,
 box 6 seats,
 bench ４seats, 
 and 2 stools.

[Basically, the counter is for 
up to two people.]

All seats can be smoked.

It is all record sound source.

Please see the linked site for examples of collection artists. Genres are divided like a Japanese record shop for arrangement.

Here are some of the records in my bar collection.

☆In order to pursue better sound with the equipment we have available, we are particular about the vinyl records themselves. The best sounding records are basically those that were released in the same country and at the same time. In addition, the promotional vinyl, serial number, engineer, and other factors also affect the sound. We have a selection of such records for your enjoyment.

☆You can listen to precious original records from the 50s to the 70s that were acquired over the years in search of better sound, promotional records from the 70s with great sound, roaring single recordings with high sound pressure, etc. If you would like to listen to these records, please feel free to request them anytime.

Other British and American 60's to 70's rock (major group, funky rock, swamp, soft rock, pub rock, MERSY BEAT,

MODS SOUND etc.), many 80's hits, punk and after punk , neo acoustic. We also have a wide variety of music from the 80's, 80's indies, 60's-80's movie music and soundtracks, 60's soul, etc. (We also have a little bit of 90's music as well). (We also have a little bit of 90's music, mainly from the UK.)

Recently, we have started to have a collection of music from the 90's onward. I am not particular about the price, as there is not much difference between the original and reissued sound in this age group. 

Owner

Shigeru Ito

※I have in my possession records mainly from the 60's to the 80's. In all, I have about 3,500 LP records and 2,500 single records.

In broad genres.

British and American rock, pop, and singles from the 60s to the 80s, about 2500 on LP, some major and some not so famous.

There are also about 150 LPs of British rock and acid jazz from the 90s, 100 LPs of soul music from the 60s, 100 LPs of soul and dance music from the 70s, 50 LPs of jazz funk, 50 LPs of the kind of jazz that British mods loved in the 60s, and 50 LPs of major modern jazz. about 50 pieces of major modern jazz, and about 200 pieces of movie soundtracks from the 60s to the 80s. That's roughly about it. The same ratio applies to single records.

There are about 200 Japanese rock &pop albums, but almost no Japanese CITY POP.

My instagram
New arrivals, recent favorites, and past masterpieces are featured. Sometimes you'll see images of our cats, though.

We made a graph comparing AROMA and PALATE of Japanese whiskey with us and other bartenders. Since the graph is our private one, we disclose it only to visitors to this bar. The numbers written next to the whiskeys are marked on the graph.
