Roppongi Hills, Minato, Tokyo, Japan

This place is crazy. I found one market where my amp-builder buddy Stash could've pushed a shopping cart along and built an amp with off-the-shelf components for sale - from capacitors to transformers to potentiometers to vacuum tubes. Yes, VACUUM TUBES!

Great beer in the Ropongi District.
