I was visiting Tokyo this week and looked around for jams. There’s a really great one ln the first and third Friday of each month, in Koenji, at a place called Moon Stomp. Typical small Japanese bar, very welcoming and kind crowd. As a bonus, Iwamoto-san from Acoustic World was there with an absolutely beautiful F-5 of his that he handed to me to play on stage at one point when he was tired. I can attest - those are really amazing instruments (also attached is another Iwamoto I saw in Tokyo, likely the most colorful mando I’ve ever seen. Iwamoto-san laughed when I showed him the picture).
