Snack Basue

A few stops away from bustling Susukino in Hokkaido, Snack Basue opens every evening to a crowd that is impossible to predict. Basue runs the little bar alongside Akemi, serving men and women who arrive carrying ordinary problems, strange opinions, and stories that never seem to end. A conversation may begin with work, romance, or money and derail within seconds into the most ridiculous subject imaginable, with staff and regulars answering each other without much concern for dignity or logic. In this tiny neighborhood bar, nothing dramatic needs to happen for an ordinary night to become a hilariously unfiltered argument that lasts until the final drink.
