A restaurant chain in Tokyo is offering an all-you-can drink beer deal that would even tempt Homer Simpson to pack up and move to Japan immediately.
Volks, a chain of casual eateries specializing in steaks and other meat dishes, is currently running an all-you-can-drink alcoholic beverage promotion for the extremely reasonable price of just 100 yen-- about $0.88.
Not a beer drinker? Not a problem. According to RocketNews24, the deal extends to wine and liquor. Patrons can reportedly choose from Asahi Super Dry beer, whisky, shochu (either straight or in a mixed drink), plum wine cocktails, red wine, or white wine.

The catch? Customers are only allowed a 10-minute window to consume their drinks, and they can only order one beverage at a time.
However, there’s no penalty for failing to finish a drink before the 10-minute window is up-- customers are simply charged another 100 yen for an additional 10 minutes, and they keep ordering more alcohol as they finish.

The drink deal is only available between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Volks has a dozen restaurants in the Tokyo metro area.
