It is 20 years old.

Yes, beer and sake are sold in vending machines (cheap sake) but before you get too excited, soon (next year or so) you will need a special ID to purchase cigarettes and alcohol from vending machines, so foriegners are going to have a harder time getting it from the machines. That being said, I have never seen anyone asked for ID at a grocery store or alcohol vendor, so no big deal there...
