NAKANO SAKAUE: The Hangover Craft Beer Bar... Italian Craft Beer and the friendliest Owner/Bartender kinda from New Zealand

I arrived at a very late 11pm to meet friends who had been drinking form 7pm... missed out on what my pilot buddy called the best ever buffalo chicken wings and fish and chips.  Seems the batter has beer in it!

I think this was a pint of #4.

Clearance Beer! Neat

The owner just got in some Italian craft beer and gave us a small sample to taste.  Had a very distinctive almost addictive smelliness to it and the flavor was tasty.  I just might have to try a full pint next time.  Anyways the 28 year old Japanese owner studied in NZ and decided to open up is very own craft beer spot.  Bilingual and you couldn't meet a friendlier guy.  I'm sure we will all be back.

DAIMON: Jotaien for some deliciously tender Yakiniku with a harsh Chinese waitresses... oh well...

This was the night to check out highly ranked Jotaien Yakiniku!

Slightly cooked raw beef

This is our Chinese waitress Ms. Chen... she was just so mean.  We asked for 4 servings of Jo-Kalbi and she said are you sure you want that much?  Do you know its alot of meat... maybe you should order 2 servings.  Now were were a table of 6... she just needed alot of convincing.  Incredibly direct and very impolite in a good way I guess.  

Beef Tongue

4 Servings of Jo-Kalbi!  Its around 1,500 yen per serving (5 slices). This was sooo incredibly tender like Ootoro sushi.  Definitely a must but its incredibly fatty~

This is Motsu... offal. It wasn't smelly but it sure was super incredibly rubbery. Not for me.

Yup we ordered another 5 servings of Jo Kalbi

Other than the manager and cashier the entire staff was young Chinese...possibly university students and the service was no where near even the basic Japanese level.  Hourly pay starts at 1,000yen and you get free food if you work here!

Spacious enough for kids.

Salty vanilla ice cream topped with hot caramel.

The bill was 30,000yen for 5 adults and 1 baby... we were all stuffed and for the quality the price wasn't too bad.  If you are in the Daimon, Hamamatsucho area give it a try but beware of the service ;).
