Where to drink on a wet night in Tokyo?

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?

      Thanks a lot! For a cold, miserable evening, the colours came out really well. The wet pavement was an added bonus too. I could happily shoot in that alleyway everyday. Definitely one of my favourite places in Tokyo.

    It appears as though he had already been someplace – that looks like the typical umbrella a bar/restaurant will give you if it is raining out and you are leaving.

      I think you are right, he probably had been. But at the same time, those umbrellas can also be bought pretty much anywhere these days. In fact it was from underneath one that I took the photo. Purchased earlier from a nearby electrical store.

    Wow, great colours. I love the balance of the colours used between the lantern and the guys checkered shirt.

      Cheers! Yeah, it was lovely, especially in the rain. And fortunately he dressed in the right colours.

    Just great!
    Perfect scene, perfect picture and perfect title!

    Yet, on second thought… I somewhat guess that I do look just the same way when I’m searching for a convenient spot to gulp down a quiet glass of beer after a long day of work. XD (It’s much easier to do so in Japan than it is here in Germany, btw.!)

      Thanks, Andy!

      I can imagine. Exploring all the bars in just a small section of the city would take years. But so much choice can make decision making difficult!
