What are Japanese guys like in bed?
i think the whole "japanese guys are bad in bed" thing is way overblown by media tbh. a lot of it comes down to cultural stuff like not being taught to talk about sex openly, so they just stay quiet. i've dated a few and they were actually super attentive once you got them to relax, just not the type to brag or take charge aggressively. the host club thing is more about lonely wives with husbands who work 14 hour days in shinjuku, not really a reflection on bedroom skills
ngl the whole "japanese guys are bad in bed" stereotype is kinda lazy. i've been with a few and the main thing is they're usually more focused on making sure you're comfortable than being super adventurous. like they'll ask "daijoubu?" a lot mid-action which can be sweet or annoying depending on how you like it. the unsatisfied girl thing is real in some circles but it's often more about mismatched expectations - a lot of guys here are used to a more passive role in bed unless you tell them otherwise. if you're dating one, just be blunt about what you want, they're usually not mind readers but they'll try once they know
honestly the whole "japanese guys are bad in bed" thing is way overblown by media and gossip. a lot of it comes from the fact that communication is just different here - less direct talking during sex, more reading the room. some guys are selfish yeah but that's universal lol. the host club thing is real but those are usually women looking for a specific fantasy or emotional validation, not just good sex. if you're dating someone here just be upfront about what you like, most guys will match your energy once they know

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.
