I'll be in Tokyo soon, and would love to try a Korean massage. However, Im not too into grandmas. Is okachimachi still on the cards? If not, are any alternatives available?
I've spent time in Okachimachi on the last three trips to Tokyo, and the one guarantee is that there will be SOMETHING of interest, somewhere in the area. Sometimes you can stack your itinerary based on the reliable reviews here, and sometimes it's just a matter of taking one for team and being the first to try a new joint (and write a review here afterwards).
Personally, I have not yet had a good Korean massage in the area, and by that I mean the standard procedure I expect when I go for the akasuri option: table shower, hot towels, massage, akasuri scrub, rinse...then girl gets nude, oils you up and gets to work like a champ, on your champ. Olive (now closed) was supposed to be one of the better ones in the area but I kept putting it off until it was too late. Tulip (http://awa-este.com/) is still open and is supposedly passable and pretty standard for the area. I haven't yet tried it but definitely have it on my list if I don't end up getting a good akasuri beforehand at one of the larger, legit spas or onsen in Tokyo.
I did visit the new defunct Wing, which was supposed to be a pretty decent one but I wasn't blown-away. Wing was, however, impeccably clean and the staff were very friendly and professional with amazing English skills for such a business. The last time I stopped by I was paired with a rather chubby Korean girl in her late 30s, who sucked at massage but had a great attitude and, while I was on my stomach, actually licked me from the back of my neck to the top of my asscrack...which brought my inner three-pump-chump roaring to life once the flip came. While she was showering me off, I did get to peek into the next shower stall where one of the other girls was undressing before the finale with her client, and she was HOT. I was looking forward to going back, so hopefully they'll reopen somewhere.
As I mentioned previously, for the hands-down best service and most fun I've had at a Korean akasuri joint, I really don't think you can beat Tonbo in Gotanda (http://www.estetonbo.com/index.php). A number of reviews can be found on TAG. On my last visit, I was paired up with likely the prettiest one there, who--as usual--looked nothing like her online photos and was probably closer to 40 than 22, but it was still a great time. Decent massage and scrub, and the body-to-body nuru slide is where they really shine. She oiled up my entire body and engaged in some interesting acrobatics, rubbing her B-cups all over my back and chest, jerking me off with her thighs and letting my hands roam as they pleased...all the while employing the usual Korean technique of showering me with false praise and telling me how hot I was until I commanded her to switch to hand-work and over was the show ("HAYAI, NEEE!!!). Definitely a good time for 15k, and then there are some absolutely phenomenal bars nearby for the after party.
But as most have mentioned here, the girls in Korean massage joints are generally going to be a little older. I've not yet seen one in her 20s, and 35-40 seems to be the norm when I'm visiting. If you really just want to try a quality Korean Akasuri scrub and massage, I would recommend just going to a legit spa or onsen, where they can be had for as little as 5k-7k per hour, and then get your rocks off later. During my last trip I killed an entire afternoon in Spa LaQua, which is the onsen theme park next to Tokyo Dome (I love a good rotenburo), and noticed that they had a pretty decent looking Akasuri room in the men's spa area, like many of these sorts of spas do. AND, I noticed that among the many 40-something and 50-something Korean therapists there was a pretty little thing working the Akasuri table that was probably around 25-ish and caught me leering at her through the glass more than a few times while I stood there drunk and naked. One of the many perks of appearing to be Japanese in Japan is that the women (non-Japanese Asians, in particular) will put up with a lot of shit they otherwise wouldn't if they knew I wasn't a true-blue cousin of Tojo.
Best bet, and for the sake of adventure, just rock up to Okachimachi one afternoon or early evening, have a few drinks somewhere then start wandering around between the Okachimachi and Naka-Okachimachi stations. Find a nice, brightly lit shop/sign that sets off your HE radar and take a chance. Worst thing that can happen is you end up spending a hundred bucks to lose your buzz and go rapidly soft while a naked 65yo Korean lady stands there talking shit to your face and laughing at you.
Been there done that.
