There’s only one problem with having a seemingly infinite number of bars and eateries to choose from; namely which one will it be tonight?
Where to drink on a wet night in Tokyo?
Food and Drink
Fugu death
Due to its highly toxic nature, Fugu (or pufferfish) has become one of Japan’s most infamous and well known delicacies. A danger that in many ways isn’t exaggerated either, as 23 people have died after eating it in the last decade or so.
What isn’t recorded, however, is that fugu die too. Sometimes in lonely, but also very public, places.
Tokyo’s tiny bars
Fancy bars are all well and good if you fancy a, erm, fancy bar. But for real atmosphere, and arguably a taste of real Japan, Tokyo’s seemingly infinite selection of tiny bars and eateries really take some beating.

Tokyo isn’t all about fashion and putting on appearances — sometimes it’s simply just a case of some booze and getting by.
