Dinner with Dry Bones, Self Edge and Ironheart.co.uk

On our Japan trip we had a great dinner with the guys from Dry Bones. Although it was a dinner officially, it’s safe to say this was a Japanese equivalent of the German Oktoberfest. Also, the denim otaku couples from Self Edge, Kiya and his wife Demitra, and Giles and his wife Paula from Ironheart.co.uk were there! Pics were taken at a restaurant in Tokyo.

Minetoshi and Daniel. It's pretty clear in which culture beer has played an important role for a longer time.
