Please guys where can I get a good dentist in Tokyo preferably an English dentist?
There's a solid option in Yotsuya called Shinsei Dental, right near the station. The head dentist trained abroad and speaks fluent English, and they handle everything from cleanings to implants. They're not the cheapest, but they're transparent about costs upfront, which I appreciate. Also, if you're ever in Shinagawa, the clinic inside the Prince Hotel has English staff, but you'll pay hotel prices for it.
if u're near ebisu, check out ebisu smile dental. small place but the dentist lived in australia for years, super chill and explains everything in plain english. they do late hours on weekdays which is clutch if u work. not the fanciest but solid work, and they won't push extra treatments on u like some places do. also worth knowing most clinics need u to book by phone or they'll use a booking app, walk-ins rarely work, so call ahead even if it's the same day
the international clinic in minami azabu is probably ur safest bet, they do everything in english and take most insurances, but expect a wait. for a cheaper route, honestly any dental place near a big station in setagaya or nakameguro usually has at least one english speaker, just ask for the "kaigai" staff. oh and bring ur insurance card, some places charge a "foreigner fee" if u don't have it, which is bs but whatever. i've had good luck with a tiny place in yutenji, two dentists, both speak decent english, and they do same day emergency stuff if u call before noon.

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.
