In-store customers at specific locations can receive free water and fans with purchases exceeding 5,000 yen during designated time slots. Additionally, the retailer is offering miniature bottles of Awamori, such as Nanko and Yume, with the purchase of specific aged spirits, and glassware with certain purchases at select branches.
