Part 2/9:
Our night begins in Ginza—one of Tokyo's trendiest districts—inside an izakaya, a type of informal pub that serves both food and drink. Here, workers unwind after long hours, enjoying camaraderie during a 'nomi kai,' or drinking party. This gathering is especially important in Japanese culture, where work-related socializing helps everyone bond and vent about daily frustrations, including grievances with their bosses.
