Easily the world’s most famous crossing. Pretty nice picture given that it was taken on an iPhone don’t you think? It was a Thursday night before 春分の日 and I met up with Ken and Adam from Genkii and Chris for a mini drinking session at Shibuya. There’s more to Shibuya than Hachiko and the dodgy area. ^^.

I was in Roppongi earlier. Easiest way to get from Roppongi to Shibuya is to hop on a bus. Short ride for ¥200.

Love to take photos when I’m crossing the road. Took this with my iPhone. Not too shabby is it? ^^.

This is the original south exit of Shibuya Station. Found out yesterday that there is another “new” south exit, which is quite a walk from the old south exit. We were waiting for Chris at the south exit and he was waiting for us at the new south exit. ^^. Gotta be careful there next time.

We headed off to have a couple of beers at Belgo’s. It’s a little hideaway near the south exit.

Lots of glasses behind the counter.

What do you think I had last night?

I missed out on a Guinness during St. Patrick’s Day. Had a pint last night. Thursday night is “Irish Nights”. 1 pint for ¥800 instead of the usual ¥900.

Here, I saved a pint for you too! ^^.

I only had a pint that night. Wasn’t feeling comfortable. Had some tiny bugs doing a free-for-all buffet on me. Do bugs like malt vinegar? I noticed I started itching after I placed a bottle of malt vinegar on the floor. Headed straight for the showers when I got home. Clothes went straight into the washing machine. Can’t keep those little buggers around can we. A hot shower never felt so good. ^^.

Although they serve Guinness, Belgo specializes in Belgium beers. There’s a whole fridge where you can take your pick. Lots of fruity ones too, including banana flavored beer and cherry flavored ones. ^^.

I found some older photos of Vedett extra white in my iPhone. Great Belgian Beer.

Very nice coaster too. If you can find this particular one, you’ll find some number behind it. ^^.

Everything you need to know about Vedett extra white. 250ml for ¥900. A little pricey, but smooth.


You can always pick up a Belgian Beer Passport when you’re there. Every week or so, they have a different beer on tap, which is pretty cool if you go often. Oh, and the mussels there, Wine-steamed mussels with half-size frites. Best in Tokyo! ^^.

This is where they are on Google Maps. You can also find their homepage here.

Oh! Found more pics taken at Belgo in my photo library. Including a photo of their fridge!

Choose your poison and pay for it at the bar.

More Beer!

Saison regal anyone?

This satan beer was real poison. Once is enough for me.

Did I mention that they have coasters for every single brand?

Coasters on the wall for those who can drink there. You’ll probably need to down quite a number before you can start drinking there. ^^.

Anyone collect matchboxes?
