    Amazing Food Stores in Tokyo

    Mizanation,

    Yes. I'm a bit fanatical when it comes to ramen. Two years ago, when I studying at Kyodai, for golden week I did a trek around Japan just to eat ramen. We started from Kyoto, went to Tokyo, stayed a night and ate ramen, then took JR all the way to Hokkaido (15+ hours), arrived in the morning, Sapporo beer garden + Sapopro ramen, headed back the same evening, and went all the way back to Hakata/Fukuoka (18+ hours), just to eat the yatai Hakata ramen. We slept on the trains and took baths in onsen. IMO Hakata ramen by the river is the best ramen experience you can ever have; if you can make the trek, I highly recommend it.

    Edit:

    Yes NYC does suck for ramen. Couldn't find one decent place; Astor place has some decent yakiniku places. For California/West Coast people, you are in luck. For SF/Bay Area - Haru Ramen in San Jose is the bomb. For LA people, Shinsengumi in Gardena is the best.

    Ahh yes. Shinsengumi.. That place used to be the shit when I was in high school..

    Thats about 8 years ago.. As of late, they kinda fell off though.. Santoka's nice,

    but I dunno.. I just think their noodles are kinda weak. If only they gave me an option to

    make it "kata-men." Now, there's "ko-ryu," "sansui ramen," and "mama ramen" that I feel

    are pretty good. Just, not on the same level as they have in Japan. Then again, none of the

    stuff in the US is on that level too so... I guess it sux to be in the states if you dig ramen.

    Man o man do I miss the ramen in Japan. Ippudo, Rokkakuya, Ichiran, Kamukura

    Ramen, Bukotsu, Rasta Ramen, Hachiya... The list goes on. Sumire ramen in Sapporo

    was good too..

    The curry museum isin "Isezaki-cho" right off the Kannai station in Kanagawa.

    It's 2 stations away from Yokohama.

    Oh, and if your looking for food, go to the Tsukishima station and eat

    something called monja-yaki. It fuckin looks like cat puke but it's goooddd..

    The gyoza at Utsunomiya is good too.

    If your ever in the country area, ALWAYS try the regional stuff. For example,

    if you go to Niigata, eat anything that has ties with rice(mochi, sake, etc..)

    I friggin bet my left nut that you'll enjoy it.

    Steak houses really depend on how much your willing to spend.

    Smart and Cool Trans Magazines

    in supershopper

    Posted

    If you live in either NY, CA, or Chicago, you're in luck.

    If you live in either one of these locations, tell me and I'll tell you

    where you can order both of the mags you're looking for.

    The great part about these mags are the occasional poorly-made free shit

    that they include. That and the chingcame section in SMART. lol

    San Deigo/Tijuana

    Just don't... go to tijuana and claim that you've been to mexico.

    It's just not. Mexicos a beautiful country and TJ just doesn't rep

    mexico right.

    Tijuanas kinda like the toy district in downtown LA.

    Only TJ has drunk, underage frat boys pitchin tents

    and transvestite hookers with so many damn STDs, they

    cancel each other out.

    There are portions of TJ thats actually enjoyable though.

    Asian influenced Satin baseball jacket in New York?

    in supershopper

    Posted

    Do they got an Aardvarks on the east coast?

    History lesson.

    The original "suka-jans" reached the States during the end of WW2 when the

    US troops who were stationed in Japan brought back these jackets as souvenirs.

    They have all these sterotypical "Asian" animals on them cuz thats what sold well

    to the troops. They were made soley for the troops and were made from everything

    from satin to left over parashutes.

    Tour jackets were something that were inspired by the "suka-jans".

    UNION L.A. - Warehouse Sale

    in supershopper

    Posted

    Just came back. It looks like the first week ripped through all the nics and left us with

    seeds n branches.

    Anything that was there that was not a t-shirt was stussy residue from 1-3 seasons back.

    Decent amount of Ts from tonite, I:M, silas and other misc. brands.

    Stussy hats and stussy pants for days. Left overs but still some decent stuff.

    Some tenderloins & nbhd here and there. Not very much though.

    The zoltar ne was the one with the "Z" upfront with "zoltar" on the back.

    I think it was light blue w pinkish threads.

    jamhomemade and other accessories in tokyo

    hmm.. swell does kinda look a tad "cleaner" than before.. Last year was a bit harder.

    I'd recomend another brand called garni.. but thier shit from this year is

    kinda on the clean side too..

    JHM always comes out with a shit load of colab pieces so you probably

    wouldn't have a tough time finding something for you in the tokyo area.

    But just take a walk around the harajuku area if your going to JHM anyways.

    A lot of clothing brands have thier own silver joints going for them so

    you should have fun.

    Bingo.

    Thats the shop.

    I really don't know their inventory, but according to what

    I heard, the majority of what they carry is local brands from the kanagawa area

    and san francisco. From the site, it looks like their pushing their own brand too.

    It says that the shop is located in Akashi-cho, which isn't exactly a poppin'

    town.
