Last night I was heading home from the Karate Dojo passing through the South Exit in Shinjuku station on my way to the Keio Line when I heard my name being called. At first I ignored it thinking there really couldn’t be anybody calling my name here. But when I heard it a second time I looked up to see Scott flagging me down. He was standing with Goro (from the Koenji crowd) and his friend Camila visiting from NY while waiting for his wife Mia. I couldn’t turn down the offer to join them for a few beers and I’m glad I didn’t. We went to a Izakaya that Goro knows just on the edge of Kabukichou which happens to be in the same building as our lame drinking spot The Hub. I knew it would be good when we were grreted at the door by Astro Boy. But what really made this a great place was getting our beer in a Tea Kettle.
Sadly I didn’t learn until after that his sign says Lets take a picture with me. Damn you Kanji!
