八月二十八日（hachigatsu nijyuhachi nichi）： August 28

Tonight I went to The Grand Central Oyster Bar and Restaurant in Shinagawa (品川). The original Grand Central Oyster Bar and Restaurant has been at the Grand Central Station in New York since 1913. And this is the 2nd restaurant which opened in March 2004. There is the 3rd one in Marunouchi (丸の内).
The atomosphere is almost the same as that in NY. There are many American waiters and waitress who speak Japanese. The way of serving the clam chowder was different if my memory is correct. They brought soup in a stainless steel cup on the dish, and poured the contents on the dish at the table.
After that I went to the Shusaron (酒茶論). This is Japanese old sake bar where you can taste old sake since 1970. This is quite different from the image of Japanese sake bar but looked like a wine bar.
