I came back to Tokyo 18:44 and went directly to the hotel in Shibuya. It was actually better than expected and very nice staff. I went up to my room, worked out a bit and took a shower. Then I went to a whiskey bar I had been recommende - zoetrope. It was a bit to get there, three metro stops away, but I figured it was worth the trip. When Google Maps told me I had came to the right address, I found no bar at all. But with the advice from of a helpful bartender in a nearby bar, I eventually found the place.
I stepped in to a regular block of flats and took the elevator up to the third floor, only to find out that this particular day - Zoetrope was hosting a private party until 10 pm... When looking in, the bar neither look so special and worth waiting for another hour, so I went back to Shibuya...
Now when the time was past nine I started to get really hungry. I did not find any restaurants that looked nice, but after a while I just took a random place and it was great!
They had a grilled organic chicken on the menu that was their signature
dish - was served with a cream on Japanese lime and pepper that was nice. It was a big, bustling, smoky place where I got a table in a corner at the entrance with a perfect view of the entire restaurant.
As a single guest (and the only non-Japanese also by about 200 guests),
I notice that the staff takes care of me a little extra, as with beer
coming in like this:
It was really nice nice to sit in my corner and be looked after, but I wanted
more and after a bit of advice from people I met walking around, I
found what they said was Tokys biggest house club - Womb. Four floors but just a big dance floor.
Good DJ, nice sound and light and very good atmosphere, but an hour was enough for me. Going to club's is more fun with friends!
So - despite last night in Tokyo, I did not go "all in". Longing for my family now and looking forward to going home tomorrow!
