In Japanese drinking culture, it is common to visit multiple establishments in one night. The first place (一軒目(いっけんめ)) is often a restaurant or izakaya for food and drinks, while the 二軒目(にけんめ) is typically a bar, karaoke venue, or another casual spot. This practice is called はしご酒(はしござけ) (bar-hopping).
