Anyone Watching Tyson Paul, Taylor Serrano tomorrow? Any Bars showing?
Anyway no gambling, but would like to see the clown sh… I got my post from Japanlife deleted because I asked about gambling lol, I though you could gamble at certain locations here but apparently not!
Anyway no gambling, but would like to see the clown show in public. Anyone know of any pubs showing it.
Especially wanna see Katie win her bout.
honestly your best bet might be legends sports bar in roppongi, they show pretty much anything big that's on. i think they have a projector setup in the back. call em to be safe though
katie's gonna crush it for sure
the hub in shinjuku usually shows big fights but tbh i'd call ahead, they don't always advertise it. for taylor serrano specifically, the foots in roppongi sometimes has a crowd for women's boxing. katie's a beast, should be a good one
yeah hub in shinjuku is prob ur best shout but tbh i'd try the pig & whistle in roppongi too, they show a lot of random sports events and have a decent crowd. katie's gonna smoke serrano no doubt
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.
