Time-shifted Tokyo Super Bowl

January 31, 2008 6:18 AM

Where in Tokyo can my friend-of-a-friend watch the 2008 Super Bowl, not live at 0800 local time, but instead at a reasonable time in the evening?

Friend of a friend will be in Tokyo while the 2008 Super Bowl is going on, and she wants to watch it. She doesn't have a way to watch it where she's staying, P2P shenanigans etc. are also out -- seems to me that her best hope is a bar catering to U.S. citizens and/or sports nuts.

The Google reveals a few sports bars advertising Super Bowl events, but they all start at 8:00 in the morning Japan time, i.e. live. She can't take the day off work, so that's out.

Does anyone know of anywhere that will definitely be showing the game in its entirety in the evening, Japan time?

Best answer: Zest apparently has a repeat scheduled for the 4th from 18:15. This place has one scheduled on the 5th from 17:30. Both of which are maybe still kind of early for your friend, but still. Your friend might just try calling some of the more famous places like the Tokyo Sports Cafe in Roppongi and ask them if they've got one scheduled. I personally can't stand that place though. Zest is probably your best bet.

Response by poster: Thanks Misozaki!

I'm wary of any enterprise that glorifies sports or fitness, myself.
