Here's some Japanese links from gurupita (Japanese); Townpita; Gourmet Concierge and Goo which includes the long-time FG favourite Carne Station. Ikuko's got some here in Japanese too.

Whenever I've come across a good nomihodai (usually a 90 minute or 2 hour deal), the venue has soon been packed with hard-drinking FGs who like to order 5 drinks apiece just minutes before the deadline. This tends to force either bankruptcy or a quick change in policy.

The Dagashi Bar in Ebisu (near Ebisu Jinja) charges 400 yen for a tabehodai on natsukashii sweets and crisps - you can also stuff them in your bag and take them home.

A lot of the tabe-hodai places I find not so good. You get what you pay for, really. Nomi hodai, on the other hand is the real deal if you all you are going for are the nama beers and the sours. Again, you get what you pay for.

Actually, the one tabe-nomi houdai I can recommend is the brazilian bbq place in Omotesando. It's back there in front of FCUK outlet.. if I only remember the name of the place..

Reuters: Japanese taste nostalgia in adult candy shops

It's every child's dream: you find yourself in an abandoned sweet shop and can finally wolf down as many lollipops and marshmallows as you please. Tokyo's all-you-can-eat "dagashi" or "cheap candy" bars make that childhood fantasy come true, giving stressed-out Japanese a chance to relive the good old days when their biggest problem was deciding between fizzy sticks and sour plums. The dagashi bar in Tokyo's trendy Ebisu neighborhood is styled like an old corner shop with dark wooden walls lined with glass jars full of Japanese childhood favorites like chewy soybean candy and pickled squid on a stick. Faded posters, a black-and-white TV and a menu that also offers pasta with ketchup evoke that special 1960s "natsukashii" or nostalgic feeling. "This is good old Japan, something I haven't even seen myself because we've passed that era," said 24-year-old Natsuko Kohashi, a consultant, as she sat with a glass of beer and a basket of sugary goodies.

"People dream about this peaceful time, 20 years after the war, when things were kind of slow but people had hope," she said. "The economy started to recover and everyone got richer, but it wasn't as aggressive as the bubble economy." Tokyo is dotted with places catering to downtrodden office workers who yearn for the years before the financial bubble of the 1980s, when stock markets and property prices soared and then collapsed, leaving Japan in a slump for most of the next decade. There are cafes where waitresses dressed as maids play childish games with customers, and theme parks that recreate school cafeterias and 1960s living rooms. At another table at Ebisu's dagashi bar, a lively group of men and women in their 20s, some wearing suits, picked at a selection of sweets. "I used to eat this as a child," one of the men said. "Now there's all this stress. When we were children, there was no stress, so we're comforting each other."

I have it on very good authority that the cosplay yakiniku shut.

There's a branch in Roppongi as well. Most of the snacks (the Doraemon cheese puff tube knockoff, for example) go for around 20 yen in a convenience store so you are doing to have to really chow down to make it worth it pay off.

Well, that's true Tommy. Obviously, if you're looking for vintage wine and top shelf hooch, nomi hodai ain't going to cut it. But, if you're like my mates and me and just want to slam back as much red eye and rot gut as we can get down before the stop watch runs down, it's the only way to fly!

My gaijin friends and I plundered this nomihodai place in Shibuya once and I swear we were so loud and obnoxiously wasted that they were serving watered down sour cocktails and beers.

You are thinking of Barbacoa Grill. I love that place!

It's not cheap. But as you said, you get what you pay for. Delicious meats and a gorgeous salad bar. Mix that up with some Cachaç]http://www.englishok.jp/shops/barbacoa/index.php[/url]

Ok, I totally screwed this up. It is the cosplay tachinomiya that shut in Kanda. The yakiniku joint is going strong. But to make amends, I will mention that there is another cosplay yakiniku in Otsuka. Map is here.
