Aiseki-ya, Hook Up Izakaya
Open for more recommendations. I'm a total klutz with picking up girls and most izakaya directly enforce a "no nampa" policy. Perhaps worse though is that my luck of getting sat next to cuties is usually pretty low and once you're already there and sitting down you can't just walk out. -
Aiseki-ya, Hook Up Izakaya
I tried but my friend wussed out at the last minute. Since you cannot go by yourself I was unable to go. I'm pretty busy until the end of the month. When I finally do end up going I'll report my experience. Until then, someone please take one for the team? o_O -
Aiseki-ya, Hook Up Izakaya
Thank you both for the feedback. Reading some of the resources Ascent cited is worrisome and confirms my suspicions. The tabelog (think Japanese version of Yelp) give positive reports, although they either sound like shameless promotions or say that the place really feels more like a girl's... -
Aiseki-ya, Hook Up Izakaya
* There was a thread about this a year ago but it died after three posts. I feel it deserves another go, as I find it interesting and relevant. I am not sure where to put this thread, as I'm not entirely sure if I'm asking a question or informing about the idea. Hence this could be classified... -
Ethnically Chinese American Traveling To Japan
The majority of foreigners married to Japanese people are from other Asian countries. You'll be fine. I don't think there's any disadvantage being Asian-American, nor will you be mistaken for Japanese. Good luck. -
Train Nampa
To be honest, I haven't really attempted or done much of this before... How does picking up a girl in the train work? With all the other people listening in close by, if it doesn't make me nervous, it might also make the girl self conscious. Any hints? Any specific train lines that are good... -
Good Old Day Game
Err... Well I may have to differ there I am afraid. I mean there's not really anything exciting about going up and telling someone my name. Especially at Hachiko. I once went up to a group of girls at the Hub and proudly exclaimed, 「俺様は白人だよ」 (I, yours truly, am a white guy!). Mind you I... -
Good Old Day Game
I have rarely ever Nampa using English. I also rarely ever appease anyone trying to speak broken English with me either. I am not sure how successful you can be without japanese, although I am sure many of you can prove me wrong. I grow weary of "gaijin hunters" or people who want free... -
Date Stacking
I think it's important to almost always have a "backup" date or plan b whenever making plans with a girl for the first time. Of course this ironically ends in you yourself date stacking if your luck is fortunate enough for the girl not to flake out. I have actually had a fairly hectic schedule... -
Men Paying On Dates With Women
I have rarely ever ended up paying on a date. I have often succeeded in getting women to pay for me actually. (^｡^) -
Best Places For Nampa
They are all pretty good, even on weekdays. Well, I have never been on a Sunday... It's pretty slow until after 7 PM. Maybe around 8:30PM or so is the best time to arrive. A DJ eventually shows up and it gets pretty crowded. I am more partial to the location closer the Shinbashi (8 chome)... -
Best Places For Nampa
Yep, I feel that this can be applied to plenty of bars though. Every bar will have its regulars... The new location and the location near Shimbashi are all closer to other bars and hotels, making it much easier to take a chick out if you wish to escalate. But yeah, do expect competition to... -
Best Places For Nampa
Not very many foreigners most of the time. You'll stand out if you are a foreigner, making it even easier to approach people. One time there was a japanese guy there that was doing solo nampa and he actually asked me to be his wing man since me being foreign would easily help him open up... -
Best Places For Nampa
The Ginza 300 yen bar is a great Nampa spot. After 7 PM it starts getting a bit busy and by 10 PM it's shoulder to shoulder busy. It's a fairly well known place for people in their 20s-30s to hook up and that's pretty much what everyone is there to do. They have two locations: one located...
