[desert sundial]

Yeah I think I might go to Shinjuku

@edgy root did you decide on what you're gonna do tn?

[ruby scarab]

I’m gonna go check this place out around 830/9. it’s the sake tasting place that was suggested earlier by @rancid yarrow

Anyone is welcome to join!

https://maps.app.goo.gl/4XhmY6BskDQ591tC6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

[rancid yarrow]

Coming to warp after?

[ruby scarab]

Mmmmm…. I’ll think about it. Not a huggeeee clubber but after drinks 🤷🏻‍♂️

[edgy root]

Not yet, what do you suggest? Im only looking for drinking

[desert sundial]

Super basic, but torikizoku and invite a few other ppl as well

I mainly want to try the chocolate milkshake there

[weary gorge]

I thought you said 500 all you can drink

[edgy root]

I dont want have any friends haha im a tourist

Milkshakes are good too lol

[weary gorge]

Whats the 90 min all u can drink place

[worthy dome]

Is torikizoku a slump that reeks of smoke or a normal restaurant?

[zealous mirage]

normal izakaya

[weary gorge]

Warp is mid

[worthy dome]

What time torikizoku happening?

[desert sundial]

I was thinking 9

[silver sable]

Anybody wanna join for golden Kai bit?

[rancid yarrow]

Is there somewhere else you’d recommend?

[worthy dome]

Might join in, haven't really had anything to do in the evening

[frozen zinc]

Gonna meet some friends at torikizoku too around 8-9 but we will be like 5 ppl so might be crowded. Down for something after tho

[desert sundial]

I'm down for that

[glossy sage]

Got a reservation for 4 but we could ask to add more people

Or I got another reservation for 9.15 by accident that I don't need

[desert sundial]

We could join @frozen zinc group

Probably be sitting in different tables

[glossy sage]

That's our group lmao

[desert sundial]

Oh shoot, perfect

[frozen zinc]

[desert sundial]

Which torikizoku did you reserve?

[worthy dome]

So what time is stuff happening?

[weary gorge]

If they are having an event zero and womb are great mainstream clubs i also but only if they are having events

[desert sundial]

9 at some torikizoku in Shinjuku and do something after that

[worthy dome]

Aight, i'm down

[weary gorge]

I just think warp is too small for the amount of people in there cant move at all Atom shinjuku should be good tn but make sure you go before 12 cheaper price also idk if this trick works at this location ik it works in shibuya but if your a guy and show you follow there insta you get in for the female price

@rancid yarrow I also know some underground spots and bars with DJs that are fun too with great drinks

[desert sundial]

Underground is better tbh.

You can actually talk to ppl there

[rancid yarrow]

Well what’s the move the group is thinking after dinner

[desert sundial]

Which group?

The torikizoku one?

[rancid yarrow]

Yes

[rancid yarrow]

Also, looks like it’s free before 11

[neon plume]

also wondering that^^

I’ll slide

[desert sundial]

Either go clubbing in Shibuya/shinuku or go to the underground bars with DJs @weary gorge was mentioning about

[rancid yarrow]

Can yall post when/where you go after when you know?

[desert sundial]

👍

[weary gorge]

Yeah it is

[weary gorge]

Atom shinjuku yeah i think it might be

[sour locust]

[weary gorge]

Yes it is just don't expect many people before 1

[desert sundial]

What are you doing tn? @weary gorge

[weary gorge]

Ik a couple spots

[weary gorge]

I'm not even in Japan i just like helping people out since I was there for a good while I'm coming back September tho maybe this summer depending on things

[sour locust]

I don’t know why you get watered down stuff

[desert sundial]

Where?

[weary gorge]

They are only good if they are having events so check website and insta

You want a club or dj bar ?

[desert sundial]

Dj bar. But if there's no events then I'll go club

[weary gorge]

DJ bar is good without events

[weary gorge]

Especially the mainstream clubs like Atom

[waxen citrus]

I was just there yesterday

[formal raptor]

[hard maple]

Damn

[rose orbit]

So Womb is better only for music or also for vibes (more locals for example)

[desert moon]

Depends what you consider to be vibes

They have a lot of good music though

[tawny maple]

Urgh I didn’t managed to buy the fukubukuro I wanted because I was too far in the queue. Guess who has extra 10man extra to spend

[finite mountain]

Who’s in Osaka

[weary gorge]

https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1314951581548150824

[rose orbit]

So, for me better vibes consist in a place less touristy and with good music

[desert moon]

Womb can fit that bill depending on the event. See also #1260899191882776628 message

[rose orbit]

This Is the event of tonight: https://www.womb.co.jp/en/event/2025/01/04/06s-54/

The dough is a little raw flour tasting but it’s good

And this garlic bread thingy is fire

So is the penne

[desert sundial]

Some madlad left 3 ketchups stacked on top of each other.

Free for the taking

[distant scarab]

[inner pewter]

Heading to Shibuya as we speak

[distant scarab]

thw fact that u still wanna go out after disney sea is impressive

shit was exhausting

is it still busy this time around?

[chrome aurora]

transfer to hotel was easy from kehin to rinkan line though at least. daughter was passed out the whole way

[distant scarab]

that\s nice at least! figuring out the train systems after a long day can be frustrating

[chrome aurora]

I doublechecked and bar ishinohana is closed as well so that was a motivator for me. Lost seems interesting but will probably be half closed by the time I walk there

[distant scarab]

i would say it's better to go another day to lost

it opens relatively early compared to other bars

[chrome aurora]

It's just desperation since on the last 2 full days in japan starting tomorrow lol

[twin finch]

Heading to Tokyo Jan 11-23. Looking for drinking buddies and bros to get into trouble with at a bar or club hahha. 39 Latino male. 3rd time in Japan. Staying In Shinjuku.

[hard maple]

Lol walk in there and leave with your clothes stinking of cigarettes

I try not to wash my nice jeans or certain clothes once a wear so hanging with Johnny cash is a bitch cuz you’ll just reek of cigarette and I have to ruin my clothes with a wash

[desert sundial]

FABREZE

It's the answer to everything

[weary gorge]

KARAOKE BAR

[thorn raft]

Good Morning! What would be the best way to offload unwanted anime merch? We got a bunch from the Animate lucky bags that we don't care for and I'm not sure what's better, getting my resident friend to try and sell them to lashinbang, opening a post in buy/sell, or someting like that. Not interested in trying to get them back home since we have 1x23kg each and we are already paying for an additional bag. But also don't want to just leave entire boxes of haikyuu and other gachas at the hotel...

[desert moon]

Hard-Off

[thorn raft]

Hard-off requires proof of residency (Asked about selling my Olympus camera to buy a new gen last trip), if that's the best way I'll get my friend to come with me.

[hard maple]

Mercari? But that might also require residency

[chrome aurora]

is it actually going to rain today, looks pretty sunny

guess it says monday now

[rose orbit]

Do you think that its good to go to Disney Sea tomorrow also with rain? Could be less line? Or its better to change date because the advantage isn't present

[chrome aurora]

Any time with less line is better

[chrome aurora]

Omakase place with bone in the sashimi lol

This place is like a mid level sushi place cosplaying as omokase for tourists 🤣

[tawdry ice]

Oof

How much was it?

[chrome aurora]

It's Tokyo ten in shibuya. It's 9900 yen

So the price isn't absurdly high

But really might as well go to Midori and save the money

[rose orbit]

Oh ok, i think that would be less line, but i'm worrying if some attraction will be closed

[chrome aurora]

Yeah. But I think most the good ones will be fine. It's usually the smaller ones that get impacted

[rose orbit]

Ok, because i want to do some outdoor attractions like raging spirits. The others good ones i see that Is indoor, like Toy Story Mania, 20000 Leagues under the sea, Journey to the Center of earth, tower of terror, indiana Jones etc..

So i dont think that these Will be impacted

[chrome aurora]

Journey to the center of the earth was so disappointing lol. My wife waited 2 hours in Feb and we did did rider switch

So I waited like 10 mins and still didn't feel like it was worth it

[smoky palm]

Might go to the hub at shin Urayasu station after work tonight if anyone is interested. There’s a pretty good arcade nearby, and some restaurants I like

[empty widget]

Would you mind DMing it to me too?

[chrome aurora]

Found a hack to keep kids occupied at the sushi resturant

Serving sashimi

[worthy dome]

Probably better off buying it second hand from a private party

[rose orbit]

Oh ok, i thought about second hand, but i would have preferred by a store

[worthy dome]

Won't find it cheap at a normal store

[rose orbit]

Ok, for now i'm doing a try at hard off

[smoky palm]

Cut out of work a little early today, so might just hang around at shin-urayasu station gigo for a bit, unless someone wants to go to akiba or something

There’s a really good onigiri place near ikebukuro I’ve been meaning to go to again as well

[cedar cape]

I'm actually based in akiba for 2 days, so I don't mind chilling with another traveler.

[smoky palm]

Okay. I’ll head that way. Should take me about an hour or so

[cedar cape]

Cool. That'll give me a bit to settle in my hotel. Where would you like to meet?

[smoky palm]

Hey arcade?

[cedar cape]

Sounds good. I'll freshen up and head on over

[silk crypt]

Onigiri bongo im guessin?

[wicked belfry]

Anyone near asakusa to hang out?

[smoky palm]

That’s the one

[torpid trout]

I was thinking of roaming around akihabara for a few hours and maybe grabbing a bite to eat. Is it cool if i tag along with you guys?

[cedar cape]

I'm fine with it

[cedar cape]

Technically on the way if you're taking the Yamanote

[desert sundial]

I'm interested!

Do you think it's going to be crowded?

[frozen zinc]

Also planning to go to the shimo-kitazawa gig today

[torpid trout]

Aight. I'll be there in around 15-20 mins if @smoky palm is cool with it too.

[smoky palm]

More the merrier!

[cedar cape]

@smoky palm @torpid trout walking over now

[desert sundial]

Where is the hangout spot ?

[torpid trout]

im across the street, 5 min

[cedar cape]

I'm Asian dude w/ glasses in grey Adidas sweater next to TTag

[frozen zinc]

Do they have lockers there btw?

[desert moon]

I don't think they do actually

[frozen zinc]

been in shimo-kitazawa all day and my hotel is in asakusa.

Maybe i can shove my backpack in corner or use a locker at the station

[ripe stream]

Drinks tonight?

[desert moon]

If you want an advance ticket (a little cheaper than the door ticket) you have to buy it before 5pm
https://t.livepocket.jp/e/afterthequake

[smoky palm]

I might try to head over to the cider bar in Shibuya tonight

[desert moon]

Station is probably a good idea. I thought there were lockers behind the nearby 7-11 but it turns out that's been replaced with purikura

[frank crypt]

Hi I'm Colin I dont know if this is the right channel for this but I'll be in Tokyo Friday January 10th with my girlfriend and looking go meet-up and make some friends to go clubbing! Lmk if anyone is interested.

[frozen zinc]
