any advice on places to eat/things to do while i'm there, also, much appreciated

Why don't u tell us what u wanna clean? Japan is superior to korea in the field of dry cleaning amongst other things.

Go 2 rejouir in azabu juban.

Here now u can move on:

don't have to tell me twice, obviously japan is nicer than korea in general. got better things to do here than in japan myself, though

 

 

Hakuyosha's premium dry cleaning is pretty popular. From what I heard, a lot of folks take their grails to Cleaning Takimoto in Harajuku. If you own like an archival raf simons piece or something, that's one place you can trust. Don't know if it's open because they don't have a website. It's around the corner from the original UA.

 

 

i usually take mine to this local place near my house but when they see the labels, they usually know if it needs extra attention. 

 

not archival, but some stuff like a 2011 zipper jacket i wanna take care of, not about to just drop a 2k piece off at some random hole in the wall

 

 

America pretty much sucks at everything including dry cleaning. I don't fuck with it unless  they are just work dress shirts or some shit I don't care about. 

 

hoping japan serves me better on this front. being able to get non-chemical cleaning in america is a big deal, but honestly, went to madame paulette a few times when i lived in nyc and it was absurd...three times the old jackass there asked me what four stitches on the upper back of a garment meant. and even when i'd spell it out for him, it'd come back 'margillo' on my receipts. how do you deal with that shit all day everyday and never learn?

 

stuff always came back pretty nice, just stupid stupid expensive.

thx will check!

what is the actual article(s)?  practically every cleaner in tokyo imo is decent, plus if they fuck something up you can get shit paid for and a little extra if you aren't a pussy about it.

 

i think it's like korea, where they use the cheapest, harshest chemicals they can to get it done easiest...i'm sure a lot of places in america do that too, but you at least have the premium alternatives if you want. figured tokyo would have them if not seoul, but maybe i'm wrong again.

korean places are known for using perc and other harsh stuff that shortens the lifespan of the clothes...was just curious if there was an alternative but it doesn't seem to be so =\

anyone know of any good organic, green, or otherwise high-end/extra safe drycleaners in tokyo? any place you'd trust with your best stuff. google's been no help... 

i just moved here. anyone know a drycleaning place that knows how to handle high-end shit? i've heard great things about korean drycleaning in general, but i don't want to take my raf or dior to any random whole in the wall, some kind of social vetting would be nice reassurance...
