Tokyo pub prohibits talking or keeping your phone out, only lets you drink in morning on weekends

There's a unique 80-year-old pub in Tokyo's Tateishi neighborhood called Uchida that has a strict set of customer rules and bizarre operating hours. The pub is only open on weekends from 10 a.m. to noon, and customers must arrive early to wait in line for a spot. There are many restrictions on behavior inside the pub, such as no photography, no using phones, no loud conversation, and specific rules for ordering and eating.

The pub specializes in pork and beef organ meats, which can be grilled or boiled, and each cut has its own set of rules for how to order and prepare it. Despite the strict rules and early hours, Uchida has been in business for decades, indicating that it must be worth it for both the customers and the staff. The pub's prices are reasonable, and it's known for its strong and sweet cocktail, umewari.
