I visited Hedge 8 in Tokyo in July, 2015

—

After booking an apartment in Tokyo I learned that a friend of mine, who I met on my last visit, had opened his own bar only minutes from where I lived. I knew I had to visit.

When arriving in Tokyo I found my apartment, dropped off my bag, headed for Hedge 8. The bar is less than a year old, run by my friend Shohei and his wife. Great music, great selection of beer and food. A great place.

A great bartender

Quite small, twenty people would make the place packed. The bar and a table, that is prety much it. But that’s quite normal in Japan.

The music was great, the beer was great. The bar was great. Most of the time I was there I was in control of the music. I plugged in my iPad, listened to what I wanted.

Shohei likes cars, so the whole bar is filled with model cars. If you visit maybe Shohei will sit at the bar, fixing one of his cars.

Can you see the model cars?

Hedge 8 is a cool bar, well worth a visit. The whole area around is also nice, so Hedge 8 is for a great pitstop for tourists.
