By day, Shimbashi is nothing special. At night, however, salarymen from the surrounding areas flock here for quick meals and cheap beer. Small bars pop up everywhere, and fast food joints do a roaring trade. The air is thick with cigarette smoke, and a feeling of desperation, as hundreds of salarymen try to forget their day in the office and down one final beer before last train.
