First real sized 生ビール(nama biiru - draft beer)

As my pre-predecessor returned to work at Asahi Kasei two weeks ago I am not the only German in the office any more. After work we went to Amataro, the only place in Atsugi where you can get beer in a decently sized beer mug. Appart from that mug that gives one the warm fuzz feeling of beeing at home, the picture below shows the various items present at a typical Japanese restaurant.
Left of the mug are the obvious chop sticks. On the right most edge is the standard set of seasonings (Soy souce, vinegar, spicey oil, red pepper (?) powder, red pepper pesto, garlic pesto and Gari (Ingwer)). Right of the mug is a small wireless battery operated buzzer to call the waiter (rarely used) and behind the mug is the digital, wireless menu. On the menu you choose, with the aid of pictures, what dish/drink you would like, press the order button and 5 mintes later the watier brings you your food.
It even has a build in function to calculate the amount of money per person if you want to split the bill amoung all participiants. In Japan it is very common to order and eat together, i.e. everybody can try everything, so that function is very usefull and even built into most japanese mobile phones... :-P
