Meet the mama: Akko
Akko is a huge fan of Japanese high school baseball and loves karaoke. With 40 years of experience in this line of work, she has spent four decades welcoming guests.
What is a Japanese “snack bar”?
In Japan, a snack bar, or sunakku, is a small drinking venue where conversation is a big part of the evening. It is not a snack-food counter or a restaurant for a full meal. Many are run by a hostess and owner affectionately called the “mama,” and karaoke is often part of the fun.
Every snack bar has its own character. The appeal is the social time: enjoying a drink, talking with the person hosting you, and sharing a song rather than simply ordering and leaving.
