Jessica van Dop, a blogger and travel media specialist, said that beer and sake are readily available in Japan. But the pressure to imbibe isn’t like in the U.S.

“You can easily pair your meal with tea or water,” she said.

Time Out compiled a list of bars in Tokyo where you can get a nice buzz sans alcohol.

They reported, “mocktails are not the saccharine, neon-colored concoctions of the past, but curated blends of shrubs, ferments, kombuchas, infusions and non-alcoholic liquor. These inspired, inventive drinks equal the breadth and creativity of cocktails, but minus the alcohol.”

In the Peninsula Tokyo Hotel, there’s Peter The Bar. The menu has, “non-alcoholic versions of classic cocktails including an aperol spritz, gin and tonic and negroni, as well as booze-free twists on the bar’s signature drinks.”
