Hey TAG, I've been a long time lurker and off of the forums for a long while since I haven't been to Japan in a while. I'm around my mid-to-late 20's and I was last in Japan studying abroad about 5 years ago.
I've studied Japanese for about 8 years and lived and worked there for about a year and a half. I just wanted to introduce myself and also request some decent recommendations for my first return back in half a decade. My Japanese level is probably good enough to pass JLPT N2 (if I had the same zeal towards passing that as much as I do for BBBJs) and I have some Western features but can pass for half, but can anyone recommend some good places for me if I'll be around Ota? I'm willing to commute out to Yokohama, Kawasaki, and the Tokyo area.
So I've been to New Hot Point, Jan Jan, and Happy Hinomaru. NHP and Jan Jan were both ehhh experiences for me and 5 years back there was this cute 20-something named Serena/Serina who was my ATF at Hinomaru, but she's since disappeared (and probably for good reason from what I've been hearing as she was WAYY too cute for that place).
I was thinking about checking out Kawasaki Flamingo, Yokohama Pink Star or Ikebukuro's 1919. Any tips or additional recommendations if I'm looking for a cute 20-something that gives BBBJ for a good value?
Furthermore, I'm thinking about moving back to the area in perhaps the next year or two and just got out of a messy divorce, so I'm looking to see how the dating/pick-up scene is. I heard decent things about HUB in Shinjuku, but again any recommendations are appreciated. Looking forward to being part of the TAG community hopefully!
よろしくお願いします!
