Wakamatsu Market is a minuteʼs walk from Yokosuka-Chuo Station. It is a retro drinking town with around 70 shops such as bars, snack bars, izakayas (Japanese style pubs), and restaurants lined up. Its defining features are the numerous mysterious and fascinating neon signs and paper lanterns hung all around, giving off the scent of the Showa era. 

Since you came all the way to Yokosuka, why donʼt you enjoy talking to some bar owners/bartenders while drinking delicious sake (alcohol)? The famous “Yokosuka Brassiere” is a special cocktail that was born in Wakamatsu Market. It is made from brandy and ginger ale. Since the flavor is different from store to store, you may also enjoy comparing each storeʼs unique taste.
