Googlers, rains in Tokyo and waiting in street for food!
Competitor - the restaurant on the opposite side of the street
Take those stairs down to enter the restaurant
Japanese Beer
Saki (or something like that) - famous Japanese wine (sorry - this is an empty cup :D)
A Japanese Apetizer - Our host managed to find vegetarian stuff for us. The broad word for appetizer is not very commonly used in Japan. This particular thing I ate is called mizu-na.
Our host eating eda-mame (boiled and salted peas - simple, yet incredibly tasty preparation)
