Food and Drink

On an enjoyable evening before Japan played Belgium in the early hours of the following morning, booze was had and belief was bolstered.

The post-game hurt and hangovers, however, were presumably much less fun.

The possibilities and pitfalls of a big night out in Tokyo.

One more photo to add to my on-going series of Japanese men and women very publicly passed out after knocking back absolutely gargantuan amounts of alcohol.

Looking in and out of a typically small Tokyo bar.

Nothing fancy or unfathomable here. Just simple food served with a similarly uncomplicated stare.

Back in February, I took two photos of the little bar below. The first shot I preferred in its natural hues, and the second one in more simple black and white. Both of them appealed, but an aversion to mixing monochrome and colour meant I didn’t want to post both, so after a fair bit of dithering the latter eventually won out. It’s here if you’d like to see it.

Searching for a different photo the other day, however, I came across the shots again, and as sightings of slightly sinister looking men in trilbies aren’t an everyday occurrence, it seemed a shame to leave that shadowy look left unseen.
