The interiors of more than a few Tokyo bars are truly timeless, and in this particular case, the blurring of the decades was nicely aided by some wonderfully old school headwear.

I recognize this bar! Great atmosphere and hat! 🙂
Lee says
Haha, I do enjoy photographing it, and perhaps more importantly, the people who drink there.

Congratulations on getting into the Grauniad (only Brits will know what I mean). I’m in Tokyo tonight, having been up in Joban yesterday.
Lee says
Thank you! Excellent. Hope you had a good night here. Nice and dry for you too.

Nothing special, and then the similar expressions and the folded arms and the dark blacks and
Tiishatsu, taoru, eakontorooru, booshi booshi booshi!
Maybe too much TSMMR.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeWJjvDXd08
If you are in the middle it looks like you are in for a long night; or several polite requests to your drinking neighbours. Maybe the hat gives a certain ‘gravitas’.
Too late for the Grauniad Joban week.
Lee says
Blimey, that was a morning blast of colour and noise I wasn’t quite ready for. Definitely woke me up!
Yeah, all very awkward, especially so if you are in possession of a weak bladder…
It is, alas. Maybe next week!
john says
and likes a few drinks too!
My eyes were following the whites to the hat and I got waylaid by ‘aircontrollo’ – it doesn’t happen often.
I’ll bear in mind your early morning ‘update time’ in future ;o)
Lee says
Haha, thanks!

Great picture. I took a picture of the exact same bar on my last trip to Tokyo in april, and it turned out to be the favorite picture of the trip.
Seems like a very popular place too. Went there two times but it was full both times.
