Starbucks Beer in Tokyo

In Japan, a number of fast-food restaurants, including Burger King, have beer and other alcohol drinks on their menu.

And now, Starbucks Japan, at least at one location so far, have begun selling alcohol too.

A Starbucks in the trendy 下北沢 (Shimokitazawa) area of Tokyo have added beer and wine to their menu.

Another way that they are trying to separate from the usual Starbucks coffeeshop image is that the staff at that particular store will wear their own street clothes rather than the Starbucks uniform.
