    Oedo Goten: Closed?

    Pardon for asking, I've been away for awhile, is there an official thread on what well known shops have closed?

    Oedo Goten: Closed?

    Such unfortunate news! I was just thinking of that place and trying to check their website. It now redirects to something unrelated.

    The Anything Goes Thread

    Though that was a very old comment by @Sudsy its worth noting that only the McDonalds & Burger King use 100% beef here. Cant say about Wendys in Japan since they're operated by First Kitchen. All the domestic chains use a blend of beef & pork for the burgers.

    Marine Blue [Ikebukuro] (SL) Club Max Ikebukuro - Haru

    She does look interesting and your review makes her sound like the kind I like to patronize. Unfortunately, staff turnover at Max seems to be high and I'm still in no condition financially or health wise to play these days. Generally I like Club Max, been there more times than I've reviewed...

    The Next US President is....

    WaPo should have all its staff from the top down to the lowest clerk perform a daily ritual where they get down on their knees and worship the ground Donald Trump walks on because were it not for all their articles about him, they'd be out of business despite Bezos's bailout.

    Even After X amount of years in Japan I'll never get used to____

    In part because of the "FSA ¥1 Rule" as it is known in financial circles. Closing out transactions can not be off by even one yen or everything has to be re-checked.

    The Anything Goes Thread

    All this shit is all of a sudden good for my work, clients from the past asking for consultations and passing my name onto their friends. Haven't had to leave the house at all for any of this either. Oh and not surprised at all that Kabukicho turned out to be a hot zone of infection and...
