Is it possible to buy official football jerseys with name in kanji?
honestly your best bet is hitting up the J.League clubs directly. Urawa Red Diamonds and FC Tokyo both sell jerseys with kanji names at their stadium shops. Urawa's shop at Saitama Stadium has a custom printing station where they'll do it on the spot for like ¥3,000 extra.
if you're in Tokyo proper, the FC Tokyo shop at Ajinomoto Stadium in Chofu is pretty easy to get to. they have a small selection of player names already in kanji for their current squad. just check their match schedule first cause the shop gets packed on game days
Yeah, tons of places in Tokyo sell those. Sports shops, department stores... even some smaller boutiques. Just gotta look around a bit.
if u want something a bit different, check out the J.League's online store - they do custom kanji printing for pretty much any team, not just the big ones. the smaller clubs like Machida Zelvia or Tokyo Verdy might have it as a stadium-only thing though, so you'd have to go in person

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.
