Crime scene clean up company local to yoyogi area?
Or a really good and willing to buckle down cleaning company around the area. Obviously I'm willing to pay.
I can provide pictures of the apartment in its current condition.
I need it COMPLETELY cleaned before the 21 of this month. Please- I'm beginning you. I need this.
honestly the other reply is right about tokushu seiso being what you need, not crime scene cleanup. but let me add something specific to yoyogi - there's a company called クリーンサービス (Clean Service) near Hatagaya station that specializes in gomi yashiki cleanup. they did a similar job for a friend's apartment in Sendagaya. took them 3 full days and cost about 380,000 yen
also just a heads up - the 21st is tight because most of these companies need at least a week's notice and they might need to coordinate with the building management for bulk trash pickup. yoyogi has specific garbage collection days and you can't just dump everything at once. you'll probably need to pay extra for express service if you want it done that fast
i'd call them as soon as you land and have photos ready to send. they usually need to assess the scope before quoting
fwiw crime scene cleanup companies in japan are mostly for blood and decomposition, not hoarding. you want "gomi yashiki seiso" companies. there's one called クリーンマスター (Clean Master) near Yoyogi-Uehara station that handles extreme cases. they did a job for a guy in Hatagaya whose apartment had years of trash and roaches, took 4 days and about 450,000 yen
the 21st is gonna be rough though. most companies book out at least 2 weeks and Yoyogi has strict bulk trash rules where you need permits for large disposals. your building management might even need to approve the cleanup crew. i'd call them today even though you're not in japan yet, they can do a video walkthrough with someone on site or photos. they might charge extra for rush service but it's your best shot
also bring cash or have a japanese bank account ready, some of these places don't take foreign cards
You need a tokushu seiso (specialized cleaning) company, not a crime scene cleanup crew. Crime scene places deal with blood and biohazards, not hoarding and bugs. Look for "tokushu seiso" or "gomi yashiki seiso" in Japanese. Companies that handle "gomi yashiki" (trash house) situations are exactly what you need.
Try calling ハイパー (Hyper) or ダスキン (Duskin) in the Yoyogi area. They have crews that deal with extreme hoarding and pest infestations regularly. Expect to pay 200,000 to 500,000 yen depending on the size and severity. You'll need to coordinate with the management company too, since the garbage disposal has strict rules in that neighborhood.
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.
