With its almost unreal looking lamp and interesting array of regulars, this place really is a bar that, in photography terms at least, just keeps on giving.
Food and Drink
Happy drinkers in a grubby little Tokyo bar
The beer was cheap, the decor faded and the clientele all incredibly friendly.
Drunk and asleep amidst some urban autumn colours
The warm hues of late autumn, and the cold, temporary bed of a Tokyo drunk.
An old chef in his old Tokyo restaurant
In his tiny kitchen, in his similarly small restaurant that seats about 7, this old chef has been cooking 6 days a week for the last 46 years. And while he obviously can’t work forever, he’d very likely go on for another 46 years if he could.
Timeless Tokyo drinks, and drinkers
I’ve photographed this place many times — my favourite shot up to now being this portfolio one, I think. But due to the bar’s timeless looks and large array of regulars, the quest for a new favourite happily continues on.
