Japanese standing bars like the one below tend to differ from their far more common, chair-based cousins, in that they force complete strangers to drink together.
But just like weddings, work parties and other formal affairs, the conversations still don’t really flow until the booze does.

Looks awfully cold there for this time of the year. When was this taken?
Lee says
Only about 3 weeks ago. We’ve had some nice and warm days, but still the odd colder one. Often still chilly in the evening too.
Coli says
Great picture. Much colder than here in kansai. Been a long fan for many years.
Lee says
Thanks a lot. And good to hear from you too!
Hans ter Horst says
Really a win-win situation: You get some great food and beer, and some excellent photos to bring home to show us 🙂
Lee says
Cheers! Yeah, that’s a great way of looking at it. Definitely no downside. Well, apart from the occasional headache!
Squidpuppy says
Certainly makes it a bit easier to tell when someone is too drunk…
