what are the chances that the massage shop you go to offers happy ending massage?
and if they do offer, do they ask from the beginning or… if you go to a local oil massage shop in Shinjuku (or other big areas in Tokyo), what are the chances that that place is offering happy ending?
and if they do offer, do they ask from the beginning or they offer during massage without the shop knowing?
(i speak fluent Japanese)
If you walk into one of those "60 minutes 3,000 yen" oil places in Kabukicho, it's basically a lottery where the house wins. The counter staff will never say anything, but the therapist absolutely will test the waters. They might brush your inner thigh or ask if you want to "relax more" in Japanese. Since you speak fluent Japanese, you can just respond directly if you are interested, or say "massage dake de ii desu" to shut it down.
The whole thing is a negotiation game. You will pay the base price for the massage, then the therapist will quote you an additional fee for the "option" which is usually 10,000 to 15,000 yen on top. For that money and the hassle, you could go to a soapland in Yoshiwara and get a proper session with a bath and everything. The oil massage route is just the most expensive way to maybe get a handjob.
honestly it really depends on the type of shop. if you walk into a random "ayurvedic" or "Thai oil massage" place in Kabukicho or around Okubo, chances are pretty high that they offer extras. those places are basically set up for it. but if you go to a proper 整体 (seitai) or 接骨院 in a normal building, zero chance
the way it works is usually the shop has a system where the masseuse is independent, so they don't ask upfront at the counter. they'll test you during the massage, like grazing certain areas or asking if you want "special course." if you respond well, they'll offer directly. the shop pretends not to know, but honestly everyone knows
since you speak fluent japanese you could just go to a デリヘル or ピンサロ if that's what you're after, way more straightforward and no guessing games. the oil massage route is more of a gamble and you'll pay way more for something that might not even happen
the kabukicho oil massage places are basically a known quantity at this point. if the sign says "ayurvedic" or "oil" in english with a neon price like 3,000 yen for 30 min, it's almost certainly a place that offers extras. the counter staff won't mention it, but the therapist will feel you out during the session. a lot of them start with light touches on the inner thigh or ask if you want a "course change"
for a more direct experience without the dance, the pink salons in yoshiwara are better. no massage, just straight to business, and they're priced per course. the whole shinjuku oil game is just a more expensive way to maybe get what you want, and you might end up paying for a full massage you didn't want
Where can I find crispy, pan-fried bacon similar to a certain international style?
if u have a costco membership the kirkland thick cut is the move, 4 packs of 500g for around 2500 yen and it crisps up proper in a cold pan. for smaller runs, precce in azabudai hills & the basement at isetan shinjuku both carry imported US & danish brands in the chilled case, just read the label for "thick cut" or "smoked" and not "loin". also worth knowing japanese bacon is often wet-cured so pat it dry before frying or it steams instead of crisping
kaldi coffee farm is hit or miss but their smoked bacon from denmark shows up pretty regular, the 200g pack runs about 600 yen. what actually works better for me is asking the butcher counter at peacock or life to slice the block bacon thick, like 5mm, they do it for free and it crisps way better than the pre-packed stuff. also fwiw cheap bacon crisps faster, the fatty supermarket kind at 300 yen a pack works fine if u cook it from cold in a dry pan and pour off the fat as it renders.
tbh the gyomu super store brand bacon is surprisingly decent for crisping up, its not thick cut but if you cook it low and slow it gets pretty crunchy. the key is the dry cure vs wet cure thing, wet cure steams. also check hanamasa if you have one nearby, they sell big packs of american style bacon thats actually smoked and firm.
