After a busy week at work, coupled with even busier commutes, a well-earned weekend beer or two would appear to be not only the perfect prescription, but also a prerequisite.
A weekend wind down
Food and Drink
A family day out in the fall
For several generations of the same family, a warm day out in the western reaches of Tokyo makes for a very pleasant trip indeed.
And especially so for grandad, or certainly some grandads, as this particular spot is in the garden and boozing area of the Sawanoi sake brewery.
Japanese street food with (a) real character
Japanese street food is pretty damn good to begin with, and it undoubtedly plays a big part in the popularity of festivals and other public gatherings, but if this fella’s food contains as much taste as his face does character.
Then it won’t just be damn good.
But utterly delicious.
Barbecue banzai?
Possibly a last hurrah, even a bangers and beer banzai, for what could well be the last barbecue of the year. Or at least the last one when the sun is still strong enough to comfortably warm all the surrounding concrete.
Eating out in Tokyo
For even the most dedicated or over-indulgent of eaters, each of Tokyo’s numerous cities offer so many restaurants that a lifetime of dining out probably wouldn’t even begin to dent the sheer number of delicacies on offer. A staggering array of options that not only vary wildly in both cost and contents, but also in regards sophistication and surroundings. And needless to say this already vast selection is multiplied into unimaginable numbers when there’s even the merest of mentions of the whole metropolis.
Yet if one has only a minute or two to wolf down some food, or much worse no money, then eating out in Tokyo can take on a very different interpretation.
Tranquil time out #80
On a surprisingly warm day when one is feeling a little weary, what could be better than a well-earned rest and a wonderfully relaxing beer?
