Police were called to a restaurant in a Tokyo skyscraper Sunday after a mass brawl broke out among a group of some 100 customers who had booked out the venue.
Most of the people had left when officers arrived at the modern French restaurant on the 58th floor of the landmark Sunshine 60 tower in the Ikebukuro district, with just a man who had suffered a minor head injury and some others still there, the police said.
No arrests have been made but investigations continue, they said, adding the scene was littered with broken beer bottles and glasses.
A restaurant clerk made an emergency call around 6:30 p.m. after the group started eating and drinking around 6:00 p.m. and suddenly got into a fight, they said. There were no other customers other than members of the group.

“...the modern French restaurant”
They objected to the tempura escargot.
They have Amish in Japan?
And you thought this was news???
You just can’t have an all body tattoo contest without someone starting something.
Well, maybe...
Not a normal occurrence in Japan.
Tourists?
Who knew that Tokyo is...diverse?
Hardly any. But since covid, hardly any of any kind.
O-Ren Ishii!!!
This is highly unusual. This is also the first I’ve heard of this story. In Japan the police and the media don’t have the tight propaganda relationship that they do in the USA. Often a “big” story will never make it to the news until long after it is not “news” anymore. There must be a back story, as it says the restaurant was booked only by the one group of people that caused the fight. Probably some flower arrangement club dinner party that went wrong.
