I'd be impressed if anyone in a state of inebriation managed it in less than about three hours!
Its about an hour drunk.
Did Roppongi-Daimon untold times before I had the sense to move closer to the action, and that was usually in a state of mentally needing to will each foot forward. Of course Coco's was at the end of the walk and ain't nothing like a breakfast curry kicked up to a 5 and with 3 or 4 toppings to motivate a man.
In the pi$$ing down rain a taxi at 1100 yen for the same route is, at the same price as a mixed drink, not expensive at all. Comparing the prices in Tokyo to those in the US is hardly a reasonable comparison. Heck, try finding a city with as much to do after 3am in the US anyway.
