Most all-you-can-drink plans in Japan last for 2 to 3 hours and typically include 30 to 70+ types of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

Sours and cocktails are generally easy to drink, almost like juice, so we recommend trying them at least once.
In Japan, the legal drinking age is 20 years old.
