- Groovy Tokyo Bars February 22, 2012The Guardian have printed a list of trendy bars and clubs to check out in Tokyo. A nice variety of watering holes are featured in the article, and I can vouch for most of them, especially the brew pubs and whiskey bars, although I have yet to try Stand S’s “mojito beer”, which sounds like [...]Roaf
- Japanese Booze News: Feb 2012 February 9, 2012A nicely-named bar in Sannomiya, Kobe. Hi, pals. Since this blog seems to get more traffic now than when I was actually writing it, I may as well start posting again. One afternoon a couple of weeks ago, 63,000 people checked out a story I wrote 3 years ago. It’s a bit like everyone buying [...]Roaf

- Definitive List of Tokyo’s Beer Gardens July 20, 2011Tokyo’s balmy summer evenings are perfect for a bit of outdoor beer-imbibing (except when there’s a bloody typhoon like today.)

- Little in Japan: New Room-mate July 13, 2011I’ve finally put a new comic strip up on my other site, Little in Japan, after tons of slacking, procrastination, dealing with a high-maintenance woman, boozing, and hob-nobbing at parties. This time the disaster-prone, insecure English teacher, Dave, is horrified to discover he’s getting a new, young room-mate. Check it out at littleinjapan.com.Roaf
- Hilarious T-Shirts from T-Shitsu July 11, 2011Rainy season is officially over, and it’s time for me to stock up on some new threads to sweat all over during the “super cool biz” summer. I thought I’d check out T-shitsu, who always have lots of specially-designed T-shirts with funny Japan-themed prints. There are lots of rib-tickling T-shirts on there as usual! (by [...]Roaf
- Japan Booze News 6/29 June 28, 2011Hello, and thanks for reading another of my increasingly infrequent missives! If I’m not posting much, it generally means there are lots of fun drink-related activities going on in Tokyo, and this month’s no exception. Last week was father’s day, and numerous beer-related novelty products were flying off the shelves of shops such as Tokyu [ […]Roaf

Is that the newish one in Kaigenuma Kaigan?
No, I think it was in Motomachi somewhere (but I can’t remember!)
It could also be interpreted as “shut”?
LOL
Yeah, maybe it was closed!
Maybe it has to do with some kind of new fetish
How many had you had when you snapped that pic, roaf? Haha.
Probably one too many!
