Samurai, Tokyo

This quaint little bar in Shinjuku takes you back in time to the 1970's, when jazz music was at its peak. The owner of the bar, a haiku master and a jazz fan himself, has done up the interiors of his venture in a fashion that is enigmatic more than anything else. Going by the name of the bar, you'd expect to have large pictures of samurais practicing their art or at least something sporty, but what you get is a thousand white lucky cat statues staring down at you, and the forgotten jazz tunes coming alive in the background. Bet you've never enjoyed your drink in an atmosphere like that!
