Type/Location:
pinsaro in Kyoto
Language Notes:
nihongo may be irrelevant if you are white AF
Details of the Encounter:
Did my TAG research and it seemed like this was a YMMV place at best. And the most recent success story (march 2018) involved an asian gaijin. First off, you should know that I am a white AF gaijin with a red beard. I know some basic Japanese, but didn't get to use much that night. Anyways it was about 7:30 pm on a Wednesday in December 2018 and I was dressed nice enough I thought, I was sober, and smiling when I rung the doorbell (maybe I should have knocked?). 5 seconds later door opened partially, no more than a foot open. (Note I made no move to get in, just politely remained where I was, I mention that because someone claimed they were shoved when they attempted this place in 2018). Anyways there is a 6 ft tall 45 year-ish looking Japanese guy and I immediately say with a big smile "Konbanwa, ruuru o wak-" he cuts me off and says in English "only Japanese, sorry". He was not unpleasant but very firm and serious looking. I nod my head in defeat/understanding, he closes the door (I think he started slowly closing it right after he said sorry), I walk out of their little hallway back into the streets. I go for a walk along the pretty river that runs through Kyoto, and reflect upon life. End of story.
Final Thoughts:
Not Recommended.
Closing Comments:
Maybe if I had persisted with some more Japanese I would have gotten in? Or maybe I would have gotten a shove... I decided to error on the side of humility.
If you have gotten in (or not gotten in) recently, please let us know below. Thank you.
