Photographs of this little bar have featured several times on Tokyo Times, both from a similar angle, and from the front. But, just like the establishment’s beer and yakitori, it never loses its rough and ready attraction.
The beauty of an old Japanese bar
Martin says
Nice, it looks like a friendly place.
Lee says
Yeah, it’s a cool little spot. Like a journey into the past.
john says
Holga lens :o)? It has a rather classic look and it fits together rather splendidly.
Lee says
Nah, just the usual. The windows make a lovely natural frame. Nice warm colours inside too. A joy to shoot.
Ed says
And they, the photographs, have been all great.
Lee says
Thank you very much.
Hans ter Horst says
Those are serious upper-management types, I guess the Ginza hostess bars are suffering now that Abenomics is running out of steam and into another recession 🙂
Lee says
Yeah, quite possibly. Although that said, those expensive don’t seem to be suffering too much just yet.
Once the consumption tax goes up in April, however, things may really start to change…
Ware says
Nice.From my experience small places like this are the best for a drink(s)before heading home.
Lee says
Yes, couldn’t agree more. They are very hard to beat.

The first thing I thought was a cartoon word bubble over the bartender’s head: “You what? Don’t like the Shiokara? Guess you don’t need this sake then, eh?”　
Lee says
Haha, that’s funny. Matches his expression perfectly too.
