So my last entry was about a bad day in Japan. Today was a very good day. We went around with our friend who speaks Japanese. he is still a gaijin (foreigner) like us but he knows quite a bit of Nihongo(Japanese). Our friend actually went to college with us. But anyways it was such a good day that as I write this I am still drunk! hehe that’s ALWAYS fun.
Today we went to the Gumyoji Market. Once again it was just like a day market in Taiwan but I was able to buy some authentic Japanese green tea, something I could not get in Taiwan. But even before we went to the Gumyoji Market we went to a Japanese restaurant that served Chicken cutlet with cheese. This place was interesting because they actually fried the cheese into the chicken. So on the surface it looked like plain old chicken cutlet but it actually had melted cheese on top of the chicken but under the batter. This was somewhat cool, but once the novelty wore off it was pretty much chicken cutlet with cheese. So if you are someone who loves chicken cutlet then you would love this crap. I, on the other hand, do not like chicken cutlet so it was not that great.
Later on we went to a better Japanese Sushi place than the one that my girlfriend and I attended in Yokohama. It was good but it was nowhere near as good as what we could get for the same price or less in Taiwan. And I know, this place ONLY served sushi so I was forced to eat raw fish for din din, how fun…
After dinner was when I got drunk. It is a place called Rex Bar in the suburbs of Yokohama. It is probably a 5 minute walk from the subway station. The owner actually let my girlfriend go behind the bar and make 5 AMF’s (Adios MotherF*****s) and then later he let her make 3 Hawaiian Ice Teas. It was a really cool experience. The fun part and the most painful part was this…
The answer is yes. That does say Blair’s After Death Sauce. It is probably the second hottest substance on the planet. Guinness Book of World Records says it is the hottest sauce in the world but I beg to differ. The special hot sauce at Don Antonio’s was way worse in my opinion. But still, I was sucking on ice cubes for about 30 minutes after I put a large amount on a tortilla chip. This sauce is something that should not be taken lightly. It is actually sold in the United States, so it is kind of odd that I would discover it in Japan but whatever the world is an odd place.
After we finished eating chips with this death sauce it was way after the last train. We walked from the Gumyoji Subway stop back to my friend’s apartment. It was a hour long walk haha. Luckily in Japan there is no law against public drunkeness because I was obviously drunk and so was our friend. And the funniest thing is that we, 3 obviously drunk people, walked right by a police officer and he thought nothing of it! Another crazy thing is that 2:00AM is not the last call here. Bars stay open until friggin 5:00AM! so us leaving at 2:00AM was actually early for a Saturday night haha. Basically bars here stay open until first train which is at 5:00AM, what a wonderful system.
