We will be in Japan for the month of October.

Mr & Mrs Kuranosuke will also be in Tokyo on October 2 so we are having our second Tokyo GTG. This year we are planning to be at:

Gonpachi Restaurant
Address: 1-13-11 Nishi Azabu
Location: Roppongi & Nishi Azabu
Transportation Station: Roppongi (10 min.). From Roppongi Crossing, walk toward Shibuya on Roppongi Dori. It will be on your right, at Gaien-Nishi Dori
Phone 03/5771-0170

We plan to meet there at 6:00 pm for cocktails and dinner. If any Japan Fodorites or any Fodorites for that matter are in the area and want to attend please let us know by indicating so on this thread.

Aloha!

Almost forgot....the menu

i'm in...save 3 seats...

HT, I just had to show Cheryl the menu. She wanted to go out for sushi... in Tokyo!

we are looking forward to another tokyo gtg. i've been to gonpachi several times. the food is very good, and reasonable, considering you're in roppongi. its at the nishi-azabu crossing. very easy to get to.

so far, 7. we can sit on the floor with the puka in the floor, or at a table.

the last time i was there, we had a time limit of 2.5hr. they are very popular, so we need to vacate in time for the next set of reservations. perhaps its just as well, as we don't want to over do it, as ht has an early wake up call the next day to start his month long journey in japan. (some guys have all the luck.)lol

hope some of the local fodorites can join us. kappa-san, any chance you might be in japan in early oct? bill-san?

I'm joining Bob so make that 4 seats for Bob's party.

I am jealous

great pook. maybe you can be gpandas proxy, and help us keep track of bob. lol.

too bad don, maybe next time.

Kathie,

Well looks like you have to make a Tokyo GTG sometime soon then

Luckily one of the HNL gtg venues will have to satisfy Cheryl until then

Aloha!

Ken or peter - If you've got a moment today, can one of you call me?

I just found a fabulous ticket on CO that includes Tokyo, Boston and Las Vegas for $1500. I have it on hold till tomorrow, but wanted a few details from you before I commit, and before i purchase a ticket (NRT only) for husband. Call my office to get cell # If you don't have it already. (Last name & Associates)

Calling lcuy...

thanks ht. i lost my cell, along with all my important numbers. can't call anyone. lol.

lucy, wow! what a deal, asia, beantown, and lv for $1500.

Thanks Ken...spoke with HT, and will likely be having sushi in Tokyo with you! He also gave me a bunch of travel ideas, so I'm working on itinerary & M's ticket right now.

wow! lucy, thats great! looking forward to breaking toro with you and m.

I will be there a month later and I am sorry to miss this. I had a great time last trip with my colleagues in Tokyo. Have fun!

Thanks Siobhan, maybe next year.

Aloha!

ttt

Isn't mrwunrfl coming? He should be checking the airfares about now, doing his little magic on United or whatever airline he is now a million point man on!

How do people get to go for a month anyway...while the rest of us slave away and wait for our one or two wk vacations...

I'll have to settle for sushi in NYC next wk and again in Oct. Some guys have all the luck.

Hi emd,

When are you going back to Japan? I do hope Bill can make it....you know these 1Ker's....they have so many SWU's and free flights its falling out of their pockets .

Nice to hear from you again!

Aloha!

well, so far, we are 6 @ 6 @ gonpachi for next friday. i think we have a two hour limit. if thats not enough time, we can always catch a one for the road at someplace in roppongi.

all welcomed. just post here so i can adjust the res. domo.

btw, ht, i don't think emd3=emd(eileen). maybe i'm wrong. would love to see bill there.
