Blow Up

Used Vinyl Record Shop & Bar Featuring US, UK, and Domestic Selections

Welcome to our unique space where you can explore a curated collection of second-hand analog vinyl records from the US, UK, and Japan, alongside a variety of overseas record shop T-shirts, merchandise, photo books, and exclusive original goods. We offer not only used records but also carefully selected new releases and DJ mix CDs, which are constantly being updated.

In addition to being a record shop, we’re also a bar that takes pride in crafting the perfect drinks. Our specialties include a lemon sour made with a carefully selected blend of ingredients and a variety of other sours, tea-based cocktails, and more. Don’t miss our signature dish, “Horse Meat Stew,” made fresh from horse tendons directly from Kumamoto—perfectly paired with your drink.

Every weekend, we feature DJs associated with BLOW UP who provide the soundtrack for our shop’s vibe, setting the perfect atmosphere with their hand-picked music.

If you’re looking for a great spot to unwind, we also serve lunch from Monday to Friday (12:00–14:30). Our lunch menu features a daily-changing curry alongside our regular spicy pork curry. (Note: Lunch service is currently suspended as of December 2021, but curry will be available during dinner hours.)

Whether you’re here to browse our extensive vinyl collection, enjoy drinks and snacks, or simply connect with fellow music lovers, we offer a cozy, hidden gem atmosphere for you to enjoy and discover something new. We look forward to welcoming you!
