Most of the street vendor stuff is pretty second rate in Yokohama. The stuff in Ikebukuro is a lot better imo. A lot of the restaurants are good though.

This is the 焼き小籠包 place that Magna liked so much I think. I certainly did when I went. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw1U174OWDU&t=300s

punk rebel ecks posted:US. In Cambodia they wanted ( to keep) a physical photo for my Visa. I wasn't sure about Japan. How is it your first time overseas but you are from the US and went to Cambodia? Anyway to answer your question, no, they take your photo on your way in and you don’t need anything but your passport.

Hey thread! Heading back to Japan from Australia with my waifu on the 20th and hitting Kyoto, Hiroshima, Sapporo and Tokyo. Already posted some Sapporo specific stuff but I'm gonna be posting all week leading up to the flight with random requests. Sorry y'all. We've both been before but not with each other. Our main goals are to eat and drink lots of cool stuff. I'd like to know about cool Japanese dishes other than sushi and ramen that we wouldn't have tried in Western Japanese resteraunts. Neither of us are huge on seafood, but enjoy crab and stuff like that more than fish. Last time I went I really enjoyed Izakaya food in particular, tried cool stuff like chicken arteries skewer and beef tataki that you wouldn't get here. I'd love to know more about great Izakayas, the dishes and etiquette for them. I'm big on craft beer, any cool destinations/breweries/brands I should look out for? We'd also like to try some old school Japanese cocktail/jazz/piano/speakeasy kinda bars, any cool recommendations? A friend suggested Little Smith in Ginza? Also, what are dress requirements for these kinda venues? My partner and I are both moderately heavily tattooed, and I was only planning on traveling with a pair of vans. Finally, my partner is not as nerdy as me so I won't be trawling arcades so much this time. Are there any cool kinda barcadey things around? She would probably get in to it if we can drink and ots not just dudes. Otherwise, any really retro arcades? Last time I went to an arcade somewhere in Tokyo where the top level was all old shmups including like raizing/8ing stuff. Anyone know where that was lol? If I only have time to hit one arcade I'd like it to be that one or something similar.

Thanks for the detailed response! My partner is very excited about the okonomiyaki in Hiroshima which she says is excellent, I've never really had it so I will make sure to indulge. Nabe looks great too! I kinda figured that barcades wouldnt be a thing, what with all the actual arcades. Thanks for the brewery names too guys. Keep 'em coming!

Gotta shill for Genkai It’s really special chicken soup and can’t have it elsewhere. Or amakusa. Little smith is good, ask for bar tender yuta, and that you are a friend of Abe-san.

Also, I recommend going to a Musashi at some point in Hiroshima, either while out shopping or as something to grab and take back to the room. They have bento and stuff, and it's loving delish. Hiroshima only though. For a fancy lunch, we went to Alambic with my mother-in-law and it was really good as well. http://www.alambic.jp/shops/sanbi/ Doctor Zero fucked around with this message at 11:58 on Apr 13, 2019 |

Once I dropped the deadweight off at the airport, I sucked on Strong Zero's and then went to the Hub where I got absolutely smashed while chatting up salary men. Should have just gone alone from the start.

I just realized I’m running out of Zantac. sounds like there's generics of it as well as name brands, you would want to ask at a drug store for ラニチジン. I think it's sold under Zantac here too. [edit] listen to Stringent's advice, the last thing you want to do is have to acquire medicine you need on the ground. Stock up at home and bring enough.

I also love the video capturing the perfect first time eating those experience of biting in and getting the broth everywhere and burning your mouth~ If you're coming from anywhere I'd still recommend this place since for whatever reason shengjian bao are rarely found outside of like zhejiang/shanghai regions in China. Why xiaolongbao got so big but shengjianbao didn't will forever be a mystery to me. poo poo now i want shengjianbao e: the thing they eat after the shengjianbao isn't tofu on a stick it's it's roasted 面筋, otherwise known as seitan Ailumao fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Apr 13, 2019 |

Many OTC medications in the US are prescription-only in Japan. Some are also OTC at very high prices, and shops are only open 9am-8pm. Deodorant, too. American-strength deodorant is not widely available yet. If in doubt, double up.
