Evening in Asagaya

Yesterday we went to Asagaya to check out the Asagaya Jazz Streets. However it had been raining all day, so there wasn't as much jazz action as we had hoped for. The main attraction was a stage near the south exit of Asagaya station, but we weren't too much into what was playing when we passed, so we moved on.
One fun attraction was a human juke box, actually some guy with a trumpet in a large box. You could insert ¥200 and pick a song from the list and he would open a small window and play it right away. This was attracting quite a crowd.

Next we went to have coffee at Gion, a small and cozy kissaten where one of the tables' seats are actually swings suspended to the ceiling! We didn't get to try them though because other people were sitting there when we arrived. (Moblog picture)

We then had dinner at Taiwanese restaurant Kōya with Tsugumi (PINE*am, Kofta) and Fukuta Takeshi (8-bits). Tamo-san even did an impromptu visit (the ¥30 doll, not the real Tamo-san).
We ate a variety of gyōza (cooked/boiled/steamed with prawns), stir fried beef with green pepper, and other stuff, all very delicious!
