With the nights drawing in and winter well on its way, what could be better than retreating to this incredibly tiny, but at the same time wonderfully cosy, little Tokyo bar?
Shibuya past and present
Shibuya is well known for its youth fashion, busy crossing and bright lights. But it isn’t all kids and a bewildering kaleidoscope of colour. Look carefully and the past still exists in the present. A past that’s just as interesting too — possibly even more so.
Japanese autumn colours
A cliched scene for sure. Arguably almost too traditionally Japanese to be true as well. But at the same time it is, without a doubt, really quite beautiful.
A little bar and the world’s grubbiest lamp?
For a country obsessed with rules and regulations, Japan is oddly relaxed when it comes to hygiene standards — or at least it is in regards the capital’s countless, and wonderfully comfortable, little bars and eateries. Places where cooking areas often seem as old as the septuagenarians using them, and buckets even make do as a bathrooms. And yet even those elements could arguably be deemed as minor concerns when compared to this lamp. A device that is now almost more artefact than implement.

Japanese festivals are always good value. There’s plenty of food and booze, plus more than a few things to see and do. But none of them, it would appear, are quite as much fun as using a firearm.
Japanese anger management?
Or should that be anger mismanagement?
