Dark looks in a little Tokyo bar

Looks, drinks, and perhaps understandably, a no-nonsense order to desist.

    Looking at the yakitori waiting to be enjoyed, I probably would grab some cold fermented barley water and put my camera down. Just to make the cook and patrons happy of course.

      Yes, that would probably have been the best call.

    Man that’s a cold response. Doesn’t suprise me though. Whenever I see a TV program that ventures into a Japanese bar there is a better than 50/50 chance one guy being interviewed will say something along the lines of “you’re not going to broadcast this are you? My wife will kill me”. In fact one yesterday, in a bar in Sapporo, when a customer was asked how often he drank there the owner intervened cheerfully with a “let’s say once a week for the cameras shall we”.
    Though with some of the noren flaps folded up it’s kinda asking for it.
    Oh, and that massive yakitori assembly looks very inviting, and that face down electric fan is probably as grubby as that famous lampshade 🙂

      At least in this case his other half was with him. Or at least I presume it was his other half!

      That’s funny. A very diplomatic bar owner.

      Didn’t have chance to see how dirty that fan was, but suitably grubby I hope. Definitely something to check next time.

    Very cool. This is another bar I’d love to drink in but I really hope I’d be more welcome!

      Oh, you would be. The dirty looks were entirely my own causing.
