## What is NOMIMICHI?

NOMIMICHI is a personal, curated guide to where Kobe actually drinks: standing bars (tachinomi), drink-in liquor shops (kakuuchi), senbero counters and the city's best craft beer taps.

No ads. No rankings. No sponsored spots. Every place is a personal recommendation from Ben, a Kansai local since 2005, with the story of what makes it worth your evening: what to order, what it costs, and the one local move that makes you look like a regular.

WORKS OFFLINE
The whole guide lives on your phone. Walk into a basement bar with no signal and it still opens.

WHAT'S NEAR, AND WHAT'S OPEN
Sort by distance from where you're standing, or put the places that are usually open right now first. Hours change, and the app never pretends to be sure.

MAP
Every spot on a map of Kobe, from Sannomiya's under-the-tracks arcades to Shin-Nagata, Nada and the brewpubs out towards Nishinomiya.

BEER MICHI
A craft beer road through the city: taprooms, brewpubs, bottle-shop counters and hand-pulled real ale.

DRINK LIKE A LOCAL
The etiquette, the vocabulary and ten phrases that turn strangers at the counter into drinking buddies.

SAVE YOUR NIGHT OUT
Keep the places you want to try. Saved spots work offline too.

ADD YOUR PHOTOS
Sign in with Apple to add photos of the places you visit. Every photo is checked before it appears. Browsing never needs an account.

English and Japanese. Free, with no in-app purchases, no ads and no tracking.

The legal drinking age in Japan is 20. Please drink responsibly, and never drink and drive.
