Ur in Ginza area.

best way to explore

[conqueror]

as long as you don't wander off alone and drink lots of strong zero, you'd be ok

 

i've been solo in tokyo each time i've visited (3x) and never had any issues with walking alone and getting lost at night. wouldn't recommend it for a girl, though.

[herpsky]

i assume strong zero is like steel reserve in the US (cheap, good alcohol content) i don't drink anything but wine anymore though, so i'm safe. the only thing that was somewhat concerning to me at night was the knife clipped to my belt (concealed behind several layers of nonnative of course). here's hoping that i won't be searched randomly, even though I left it back in my room this morning

never understood that whole edc / wypipo pocket knife shit. just kimoy.

EDC has helped me a lot in performing emergency circumcisions in dark alleys. All those passed out sararymen never knew what hit them.

i go to bareburger on the regular. they blew up in ny and got multiple joints in the city. they have a pretty big selection of what you can do with your burgers including all kinds of diff meat. i fux w it

[DaBestSpoona]

Its okay, nothing special unless you like a variety of toppings on your burgers.  Maybe they will source better meat from Japan instead of that bland grassfed shit they have in NY.

Anyone know any non-typical really good art or art and design museums?

[herpsky]

watarium

hara museum in kita shinagawa

 

yebisu beer museum (?) is pretty hilarious. free beer too.

hara is cool but deceptively small - it's a great spot to go to on a sunny day due to the gardens and where it's situated.

Tomato is new but kind of want to try the lemon...

[MarkMorrison]

Anyone here planning on going by Biotop for the Jiro Konami thing and want to proxy buy a T-shirt for me? 

[donburi]

The johnny hunter strikes again

[pompadork]

Might go to that today actually. Depends how dead mountain research sample sale is. 

[herpsky]

sounds horrible. is this like a sample sale that everyone is invited to? 1LDK sample sale  = always kimo dasai boys in line

[pompadork]

Including moi.

Was pretty shitty. I've never been to a sample sale that I actually found good things at so I don't know why I bother going still.

Biotop thing was cute. The prints were nice but the shirts were kind of ugly irl.

What is UCC Coffee Academy? Looked weird. And walked by glitch coffee but didn't go and haven't really heard anything about it so not sure if I missed out.

[djrajio]

Fashion in Tokyo is such utter shit right now.

Is anyone buying the crap these brands are putting out?

[pompadork]

I'd agree but I've been broke until yesterday. 

 

Summer fashion always shit. Too hot to look nice. 

[herpsky]

Just bought a bunch of engineered garments. Lol.

Japanese cluthin not interesting to me any more. Just not as cool / wearable / good quality as euro brands. Brands like kolor are kinda interesting but not that much.

My local shop carries kamoshita and some other Japanese labels but it's not as good as other labels they sell at the store (same imported items that you would see at strasbourgo and etc)

Looks aight

[herpsky]

please explore more japanese OG è€èˆ— for us and regale us with your experience

 

i'm tired of all these imported from europe / usa places. 

[pompadork]

I need a good resource. Every blog is obsessed with western stuff. Those ãŠã˜ã„ã•ã‚“ sanpo shows on NHK show more interesting places.

Note: avoid all listed places on the 20th. Looking forward to photos of lineups for a lamp. 

[herpsky]

isn't that repro version smaller than the OG?

[Sammy You]

yeah the og is huge.
