Weird Bar Names in Osaka

Andrew Hill in Osaka has kindly sent me some pics of some amusingly-named local bars. The last one sounds particularly scary! (unless you’re into that sort of thing.)
The first pub-sign appears to have been customized by some inebriated prankster but, in Japan, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if “Blow Me” was the actual bar name.

Haha when I took that last pic, I was curious, but more disgusted. Right next to it was a place called Club Ash that advertised “Hard Office Play.” A guy standing out front talked to me and gave me the impression it was a Hostess Bar that offered happy endings. Really it was just another night in Namba.

“Hard Office Play”?! Sounds like a crazy joint!
Yeah, Namba is a fun place.

Groovy Tokyo Bars February 22, 2012

The Guardian have printed a list of trendy bars and clubs to check out in Tokyo. A nice variety of watering holes are featured in the article, and I can vouch for most of them, especially the brew pubs and whiskey bars, although I have yet to try Stand S’s “mojito beer”, which sounds like [...]

Japanese Booze News: Feb 2012 February 9, 2012

A nicely-named bar in Sannomiya, Kobe. Hi, pals. Since this blog seems to get more traffic now than when I was actually writing it, I may as well start posting again. One afternoon a couple of weeks ago, 63,000 people checked out a story I wrote 3 years ago. It’s a bit like everyone buying [...]

Definitive List of Tokyo’s Beer Gardens July 20, 2011

Tokyo’s balmy summer evenings are perfect for a bit of outdoor beer-imbibing (except when there’s a bloody typhoon like today.) Where better to enjoy it than on the top of a skyscraper, under the stars? (you can’t see actually any stars, but you can achieve the same effect by signing up for an all-you-can drink [...]

I’ve finally put a new comic strip up on my other site, Little in Japan, after tons of slacking, procrastination, dealing with a high-maintenance woman, boozing, and hob-nobbing at parties.

Hilarious T-Shirts from T-Shitsu July 11, 2011

Rainy season is officially over, and it’s time for me to stock up on some new threads to sweat all over during the “super cool biz” summer. I thought I’d check out T-shitsu, who always have lots of specially-designed T-shirts with funny Japan-themed prints. There are lots of rib-tickling T-shirts on there as usual! (by [...]
