still hard to believe this arcade exists within tokyos 23 wards but I guess Koto-ku is kind of an exception

Jou Kumada-don, kumada, Harajuku

it’s so messed up that some fun things require you to go outside

I had the brilliant idea of playing Love (2015) before getting Love Eternal (2026) and I’ve very quickly hit a point in the game where every time I get to a new room i get a wave of platforming-based existential dread

the first place was a basement Shibuya bar full of local drunks, this one is a second floor Ebisu “speakeasy” where everyone but me is on a date… the power of marketing

love going to a place, realizing it’s an unmarked clone (but allegedly cooler) of the other place, then doing this to myself just to make sure lmao

tfw bartenders know how to use mezcal and spice and make their own demerara syrup 😭

I hear about a nola cocktail bar popup shift in Tokyo, I’m there

ringing the ’certified hidden gem’ alarm (only 1 review on steam) go in blind if you can, 80 minutes of swaggering genre-less narrative with easily the best character designs of the year

I can't believe marubaku is still around in 2026

Notice of Tsuge Yoshiharu's death on March 3 in Japanese.

Tsuge Yoshiharu passed away

It went surprisingly well with the chili gose I was drinking

(“浅漬けのヨーグルト和え”? Surely they’re not just serving pickles and yogur…oh)

did finally check out some Nippori spots though

not Google routing me through a forgotten looking train overpass and a cemetery when I’m enough drinks in that I don’t second guess the algo 😭

as far as I can tell it's a pretty bifurcated situation where its like freaks who can but don't care about eating a coco 10 vs people who think tabasco is the spiciest thing ever

been a while since I’ve gone to a proper contemporary art exhibit

anime girl taking big sip of beer

seeing the reaction over the throwaway eva fanservice short and feeling grateful that foreign anime fans have not discovered true kino like Nakamura inuzo’s kudryavka film series

this “鬼辛カレー” is like a coco 2

happy meal for adults

the hipster natural wine and dessert place that opened up near me has bougie nutter butters‼️

I'm pretty sure it's what I decided to save when having to somewhat suddenly clean out my childhood home in the us
