Weekend is finally here…
Leaving all job tasks incomplete, I rushed into Tateishi Station.
That is where tons of old-styled Japanese taverns concentrated.



Surely, 1st time in such a long time. Say 10 years or even longer.

Friend Tetsu and I got together for drinks tonight.
It was postponed from past Tuesday when he urgently had to go to Nagoya for work.
I guess, this rescheduling was rather perfect.



After trying to go in at two different places where taverns were packed and full,
we ended up at Mitsuwa for 1st stop.
This is one of "usual places" for Tetsu and he led me to order what to eat, etc.



It was cheap grilled-meats place and they were all good!!!

After "Mitsuwa," we went in to the oden place.
Oden is vegetables, fish dumplings and various other articles of food stewed in a thin soy soup, and served hot.



Very authentic Japanese tavern. Yeah quite typical.

Another Tetsu's usual place and he knew what to order for me again.



Oden!!!



Oyster bowl



Tetsu and me… definitely drunk already. Hahaha.

What to talk about? Various. Work, fashion, watch, money, family, health, etc.
Usual stuff, right?

We worked together such a long time ago.
Worked together over several years in Tokyo…
Back in 2000-2003… still felt like yesterday.
