KICHIJOJI: Yona Yona Beer Works... a nice pub style atmosphere with tasty Japanese craft beers.

Original plan was to hit up an Okinawan craft beer spot but it was a full house... so wandered to Yona Yona. Only my 2nd adventure to this franchise.

To keep it easy went for the 4,500 yen all you can drink and course dinner.

So this night I take out my brand new $300 Canon G9X... It really pulls like the Canon S120 but a narrower field of view and f2.0 lens thats not as bright. I definitely like the Sony RX100's DSLR like picture quality with an incredibly sharp lens. Oh well... G9X will probably only be with me for brightly lit restaurants.

Congrats dinner for a friend who's making bank in pharma. We pretty much stuck to the Hare No Hi Sennen Barley Wine with a great 10% alcohol content... so thats why it came in this small wine glass. Totally thought it was craft beer.

The roasted chicken let we pretty tasty.

Everything that came out definitely complimented the beer... but overall was it worth it for 4,500 yen. Hmm... not too sure about the food but if you like Yona Yona craft beer and a really great dimly lit restaurant atmosphere then probably so.

NAKAMURABASHI: Hama Taro seafood restaurant... tasty tiny budget grilled mackeral "saba" lunch.

550yen is such a great price point for a fish lunch...

Lots of reasonably priced items and unusually they also had taco rice.

Drink, fish miso soup and rice is all help your self.

Ordered the daily special Grilled Mackerel. The fish was rather small but very tasty... had a seasoned sweetness to it. Cozy little restaurant whats not to love.

EBISU: Shirononiwa. Rooftop buffet and all you can drink bar... it was a sizzling hot night.

One of the guys I met at MFU.

All you can drink bar... they will the drink as strong as you like.

Just seemed like there as a whole lot of bar food... wish they would have had some meat or roast beef.

The highlight of the evening... seasoned juicy chicken let.

Overall the location is awesome, the interior of restaurant very nice but 5,800 yen food ho-hum buffet

NAKAMURABASHI: Yatai Sushi... a little sunshine in this little town. Chef Mizukami was too cool.

When in Nakamurabashi for dinner take the train to another town... there are so few dinner options with lowly ranked izakaya's and yakitori spots. BUT! Luckily this cool little sushi izakaya opened up last year and finally had a chance to go.
