Last night was the inaugural meeting of the Tokyo Stay at Home Dads group.  There are currently 10 of us from all over the world with at least not working as a common theme, oh and taking care of our children.

Our first meet up was at a restaurant called Gonpachi just a 15 minute walk from our apartment.  I was told that this was a very popular place for expats as it is right in Roppongi which is the expat hub of Tokyo.  They were not kidding, half the people where expats which I am not used to seeing.  The thing I didn't know about this place is that it is where the big fight scene from Kill Bill Vol 1 was filmed, which of course they had memorabilia in the front from the film.
We had an awesome table by the bar and one of the more seasoned expats ordered food for the whole table.  We enjoyed sashimi, eggplant, smoked fish, black cod and edamame.  Oh, I almost forgot we had a few pitchers of beer.

Overall a really fun night out with the guys and we plan on doing more family friendly events soon too.

Kanpai!
