A young and feisty Tokyo drinker

Like many residents of Tokyo, this young fella wasn’t born in the capital. Instead, he came here to make a living out of what he loves most — music.

Up to now, however, that hasn’t worked out, and instead he’s delivering leaflets for a pizza company; spending what little money he has on booze and a bit of light relief. But hopefully one day he’ll make it, or if not, at least more money.

    Did you try the pizza?

      Yeah, not my choice of beverage to be honest.

      Nah, he was off work. Good old yakitori instead. Never a bad option.

    I’m with you on that: yakitori all the way in grubby little restaurants. Besides, the pizza I had in Nara was tiny, about half the size of a standard pizza. 🙂

      It is. And the older I get, the more I want to eat it. Well, that and gyoza. I’ve basically become an oyaji!
