Drinking @ Shimbashi

Picture of Tamaya beer house.
From Beer Foods and beer night
On Thursday night, I was back in Shinbashi to get familiar with drinking the way Japanese working class men and women do. These bars are often small and tight. This actually is one of the bigger drinking bars. I met up with my friends Yohko and Ikuko. These pretty ladies are going to be my guides to the many exotic Japanese beer foods. Don't be fooled. They know this art well.

Yes, they love these giblets and they are determined to enlighten me of "Japanese traditional beer drinking" during these last two trips to the beer house.
*I noticed that the beer here is better when served in a glass. They don't drink from the bottle (most of them anyways).* Warning: Do not try these at home unless you or an expert or Japanese!!! Or in their case, both.

Notice in the first picture, our tables are propped-up by empty cases of beer. Also, Kirin beer is king here.
