The Love Tokyo Awards 2016 in pictures

After a gruelling process that involved editors from six other Time Out cities, a very large number of bars, restaurants, cafés, shops, products and activities, and the sleepless nights brought about by actually having to choose the best of the best, we handed out our very first Love Tokyo Awards at the awards ceremony on December 21. Now that the dust has settled, it's time to look back at the party in photographic form. See if you can spot yourself or just ogle at our snaps of the nominees, guests and other curious characters.
