Evelyn visits Tokyo - Cafe 8 / Absolut IceBar
My friend Evelyn was visiting Tokyo.
Incidentally, we’ve now met in 4 or 5 different countries now!
After visiting Tokyo Midtown, we headed to my fave chinese restaurant in roppongi called Cafe 8 located across from the Hyatt in Roppongi Hills. Cafe 8 is a Hong Kong style restaurant with an interesting, slightly erotic decor. In the middle of the room is a huge phallic shaped gong. The food was great — we had Peking Duck, Spicy Fish Soup, Sweet and Sour Pork and a bunch of other dishes.
Afterwards, we headed to the Absolut Ice Bar in Nishi Azabu.
It’s quite expensive, but was an interesting experience — everybody has to wear special protective wear — we all resembles eskimos in an Igloo.
From their Web site:
ABSOLUT ICEBAR TOKYO is the first permanent icebar in Japan located in Nishiazabu. Experience the extreme - the ABSOLUT ICEBAR is kept at minus 5 degrees Celsius year around and everything inside is made out of crystal clear ice transported down from the Torne River in Jukkasjarvi, Sweden. Step into an environment where the walls, bar, tables, and even your own personal glass with a vodka cocktail is made out of ice.
