I found this 50s style izakaya by chance last night in Ikebukuro when meeting up with Aki and her husband Chris in town from London. Aki and Chris were AETs (Assistant English Teachers) in Koshigaya like me-Aki's third year was my first and Chris had been for there for a year, two years before me. I will have another chance to catchup with them as they head south next week to Okinawa for a family reunion-Aki's mother is from Okinawa. I will go to Okinawa for three days from Monday, for one last trip before school starts up.
Cool, I am glad you are making to Okinawa. I would have liked to go there when I was visiting. Be sure to look up Mr. Miyagi and visit all the places that Danial LaRusso kicked butt. Must be rough trying to fit in all these vacations.
