You can enjoy your favorite sake in just one cup (45cc) using the coin-operated server, and you can also purchase some of your favorite brands.

The adjacent select shop offers a wide selection of local specialties and souvenirs from all over Shiga Prefecture, bringing the charm of the prefecture to tourists and locals alike. It also offers a luggage storage service, making it even more convenient for those using the station.
