oh sake bombs.

For zacks bday we went to this place Tokyo delves sushi, which was complete madness. The outside was not unlike a club with a long line and big bouncers with a list. When you walked through the door you were greeted by a line of waiters and asian bartenders screaming ‘heeeeeeyyyy!!!’ This reminded me of college potluck nights when we greeted people very similarly. Everybody gets in and you immediately have a sake bomb. Everyone would fill up their beer mugs under the mini wooden kegs, then put their chopsticks on their glass. Then we’d put a shot of sake on top and the waiter would yell “SAKE!” and we yelled back to him, “BOMB!” Three times or so and then he would slam the table and our drinks became one big mess of alcohol. Then we chugged. I hadn’t eaten all day under the impression this was a sushi night I was getting myself into. After two bombs I was feeling very light.
Before I knew it they were playing ‘my humps’ and we were up on their chairs get-getting love drunk.
After 6 sake bombs and lots of sushi and chair dancing, we got a very sobering bill. $867 for 15 people! Ouch. So we paid and got out of there quickly.
