Last night I enjoyed yakitori (meat and veggies on sticks) arranged by one of our hosts in the Roppongi area of Tokyo. Roppongi is a fast-paced area with a lot of night life catering to males, but is not to be confused with Roppongi Hills which is similar to Beverly Hills in stature.
The food at Jomon was delicious and flowed for hours. Pictures below are listed in the order that the food was served. Also enjoyed my first glass of sake.
