Had some unexpected free time last Saturday morning ~9am for reference and wasn't feeling the girls at the usual gaijin okay places, so I tried testing my luck with some walk-ins in Kawasaki and got the Japanese only at: Dolce, Club New York, Akatonbo, and Happy Bridge. All of these places had girls on standby, so it being a weekend likely didn't play a role
It was odd how not even Dolce wanted my gaijin ass to pay 10k tax. I still would've said no, but I was curious if they had the same gaijin tax practices as their Yoshiwara counterpart
Club New York implied that I'd be okay if I had Japanese nationality, but nah I don't and am not going to lie. The last review here of it was able to get in earlier this year with N3-N2 Japanese, with no hiccups. Listening isn't 100%, but I can have full conversations mostly without pausing and without needing to pull out a dictionary or anything, so I'd like to put myself somewhere N2-N1 for speaking.
FWIW, I did end up being able to go to an equally hard place for gaijin to enter that day where the staff thought I was Japanese for a while. Not trying to sneak in, I just know that they're going to find my accent funny at some point and going to ask me anyway. It wasn't a great experience, so I'm more than happy writing the review (pending)
