Last night, we finally went to EX, the German snack bar. This picture gives you an idea how tiny the place is, (we took the picture from one side of the bar, looking toward the other side- and that's the size of this small establishment) and if you look closely, you can see hundreds of little ornaments hanging down, over the customers. It was very festive! The entire place seats 14 people, all cozy and up close around a well worn wooden bar. EX is run by two men; the large friendly German named Horst, and his diminutive Japanese partner, Hiroshi. They serve up friendly delicious German comfort food- heavy on the meats, and wonderful roasted vegetables, along with excellent German beer. It was just what I needed to lift the spirits. There were people coming in and out the whole time we were there, looking disappointed when they saw a full house, and several groups waited for seats outside in the chilly night air. Horst chatted away with all the customers like they were old friends (and some were, you could tell) with his wonderful accent, white mustache and buzz cut.
It was a very memorable meal.
You can go to EX too! Check out the (mostly live) web cam: http://www.ex-tokyo.com/webcam.htm
