Faded Japanese bar looks

The bar was old, the colours faded and the looks more than a little accusatory.

an old and traditional little Japanese bar

      It was. Really nice little place. Decent food. Nice big bottles of beer too. So no complaints at all!

      Cheers. It was to be honest. He was a nice fella too, always quick to smile. Just not in this photo!

      Yes, I was happy in there. A very comfortable place to enjoy a few beers. And yeah, I like his expression. Very interesting!

    Great photograph of a very characterful bar. I like the unadorned bulbs and the gleam of what varnish is left on the bar – which looks rather like my old school chem-lab bench.

    The guys eyes makes it look like the clenched fist is as a result of seeing the small (or seated) person to your left.

    Are they mushrooms or huge octopus suckers on the grill nearest you?

      Thank you! Likewise. Always pleased when a bar has lighting like that. Very appealing.

      It was funny. He clocked me taking the photo. Already in fist clenched pose. But he just carried on as though he hadn’t seen me.

      Mushrooms. It was decent food in there. Not a massive menu, but what he did have was all good.

    Very nice. Could definitely spend some time sitting in there.

      Cheers. Yes, a very comfortable place to spend some time. Even more so as it was bitterly cold outside.
