Now here’s an establishment that knows its target market! “Booze-holic” is basically a cool way of saying alcoholic, and I guess that’s the kind of person who’s going to be frequenting this late-night Tokyo bar.
You’ve got to admire their honesty.
Thanks for the uatpde Nat. it's nice to know what happened there through the eyes of someone who is actually living there. The news exaggerate things too much.I really hope the radiation problem can be fixed soon
I was scanning through your blog, and I cracked up when I got to this post because Booze Holic was in a Japanese movie I had recently seen. There were quite a few scenes filmed there. The movie was Itsuka no Kimi e.
The 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 [...]
A 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 [...]
Greetings! Sorry for my recent inactivity- it’s a protest about SOPA (honestly). I’ve put a new comic strip up over on LittleinJapan.com This time it’s about a disastrous double-date. Read the rest of it here!
I’ve just posted another comic strip up on my other site, Little in Japan. These will be more frequent now that the beach bars, beer gardens, and outdoor festivals are over for another year. This time, more domestic disputes and hangovers. Read more here!
Tokyo’s balmy summer evenings are perfect for a bit of outdoor beer-imbibing (except when there’s a bloody typhoon like today.) Where better to enjoy it than on the top of a skyscraper, under the stars? (you can’t see actually any stars, but you can achieve the same effect by signing up for an all-you-can drink [...]
I’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.
Rainy 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 [...]
Hello, 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 [ […]
Hey, that place is in Kitazawa. Close enough to go take a look at.
Really? My kanji sucks.
Is that the same as Shimokitazawa?
The directions say that it’s a 5-min walk from Shimokitazawa (下北沢) station’s north exit. Either the Keio line or the Odakyu line.
I’ll check it out next time I’m in Shimokita (which is pretty often. I’ve probably been in there already!)
Hey, buddy. Did you find a sexy little number to occupy all your blogging time?
Anyway, I picked up an apartment near Shimokitazawa, so let me know if you want to hit up a bar or two out there.
Thanks for the uatpde Nat. it's nice to know what happened there through the eyes of someone who is actually living there. The news exaggerate things too much.I really hope the radiation problem can be fixed soon
Yeah, I’ve haven’t blogged much lately becuase I’ve been out and about too much.
A few drinks sound good! I like Shimokita.
Send me an email.
Oh, and there are a lot more Japanese polepe in Oklahoma than you may think. HUNDREDS even!
