We're going to be in Tokyo the first week of December and I've already reserved time to stop by Trader Vic's. Probably at the end of our day of shopping on Tuesday or Wednesday. for an early happy hour in the bar. Anything in particular I should be on the lookout for specific to the Tokyo TV's? I already hope to pick up their Tokyo Sour glass to go with the London Sour glass I got last year.

I believe I saw a new glass for sale in their showcase – one that shows support for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

If possible, you really should visit TVT for one of their Sunday/holiday brunches. For December, they are sure to have their delicious roast turkey as one of the available sliced-to-order meats (to go along with their roast beef, roast pork, and chicken).

The brunch buffet has a tremendous variety of dishes, and is the best way to get totally stuffed on wonderful Trader Vic's food.

Happy hour is great for ¥1000 Mai Tais, but I think the brunch is more of a memorable experience.

If that glass is available its a must get for me. The combination of TV's and Olympics is great.

Sadly we're only in Tokyo Sat-Sat, mainly as a bucket list trip for my wife and her Dad to go to Tokyo Disneyland. So we get in Saturday evening, stay that night at the off-site Disney property, then Sunday morning transfer to the Miracosta for the rest of the trip. No real time to go to TV's that day. We're going to spend one day shopping in Shibuya and Nakano Broadway and swing by TV's on the way back to the resort but otherwise its a Disney trip (my mother-in-law worked for Disney for 16 years before she passed away, the last almost 10 at Walt Disney World, and they always wanted to see the foreign parks, especially Tokyo). My wife and I plan to return just the two of us at some point in the future to really "do" Tokyo.
