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.
Lol, catching headlines before signing off and was about to post but sure enough your post confirmed we at FR are great minds.
Went to visit friends that have a place in Mexico and went way out into the country to a fancy outdoor restaurant in the mountains overlooking the Pacific.
Lots of young people driving expensive cars. Crowded, music, nice clothes. I’m guessing that these “kids” (20-somethings) were from families that had connections in the mob, government, and/or both.
There were 8 guards in tactical gear, face masks/balaclavas and AR style rifles around the perimeter of the outdoor seating area.
Tourists?
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe they were not Japanese.
According to an investigative source, those involved in the commotion appeared to be members of Chinese Dragon, a gang comprised primarily of second- and third-generation descendants of Japanese orphans left behind in China when Japan withdrew from the country at the end of World War II.

saw a recent pic of her, and she looks great — seemingly aging well without the stupid surgery.
LOL - whenever I read about a restaurant riot, I think of the high society banquet food throwing wars that the Three Stooges were always accidentally causing or getting involved in.
French restaurants in Japan have “people who annoy you” for customers?
Tarantino always took the violence a bit too far in his movies but scenes like the one you posted make his movies worth watching overall. They way he works music into his movies is genius.
Thank you Blurb, that explanation makes sense.
Gang fight.

I know, right? We can speculate that it probably wasn't racially motivated.
