    Not what the meme implies but yes. I went to a place in Akihabara that was mostly just one dude at a counter grilling and smoking food. He didn’t speak English so the nice Singaporean gentleman next to me was translating for us. It was a great meal

      The tiny hole in the wall places that Japan’s zoning laws permit are soooo cool. Like 4 chairs in the whole place and 2 are reserved for regulars. They’re like studio apartments, but it’s a restaurant.

      The chef was screwing a FOB white girl so he’s honorary American, not authentic Japanese.

      Gotta ask these things up front, “no pork” and “are you or have you ever screw an FOB”?

      Otherwise it’s not authentic Kobe beef from a Sannomiya station cow. JR not hanshin and definitely not Hankyu.

      (in a low suspicious voice cuz never discussed in loud voice) Or that local subway that goes who knows where
