We arrived on a Saturday night, starving and exhausted, and walked over to Ginza from our hotel get a bite to eat before going to bed.

We were not in the mood for something fancy so ended up at this fabulous beer hall from the 1930ies, the Ginza Lion, which apparently is a Ginza institution.

They had a German Oktoberfest theme going, what with the waiters in Lederhosen (seriously!), German Oohmpa music blaring and all kinds of German classics on the menu, but I went for this super tasty warm Japanese mushroom salad, which we shared.

Ritesh however got this nice German Bratkartoffeln mit Wurst (fried potatoes and sausage) - the only Japanese touch was the green onion on it. Very tasty, though, too...

...plus we got to eat it with chopsticks!

That's about all we could do before we collapsed in our tiny but lovely room at the Park Hotel in the Shiodome Media Center.
