I have a long list already but if anyone has any fav bars (cocktail / whisky / specific spirit focus/ damn good) that they recommend?

In town from the 4th for roughly 10 days, meeting up with mrip sometime, anyone else i have no real plans other than a bit of booze research and wandering around.

My good friend used to be one of the head planners at CDG and worked closely with Rei Kawakubo. 

 

The investment in Gosha is a political/power move in the face of what is going on in Russia in terms of sanctions.

 

CDG has a number of factories in Russia and needs to be able to maintain good terms with the government/people in high power/influence.

 

They have a major stake in the business and want it to succeed but the investment/support is also motivated by CDG's existing businesses in Russia.

had no idea cdg manufactured all of gosha

Well what does that mean anyway? They don't have factories. They handle the overseeing of production, which removes a lot of work from the Gosha brand.

what? Slack is in PSG... I mean it didn't list norikiyo and sdp. I don't like zone the darkness. People seem to enjoy kohh for whatever reason. I don't like him either. It's fairly comprehensive for something that's supposedly written by an American. 

 

Never listened to Anarchy. I'm kinda into chill shit like Slack and Dengaryu.

Oh weird didn't see slack, browser scrolling was skipping from all the youtube shit being loaded at once. He's the best part of PSG anyway so list semi redeemed. 

 

Anarchy sucks but I sort of like Ryuzo lol. Anarchy's Junkmania crew is kind of cool too I guess.

Are there any proxy services that will buy items online from an independent retailer's website? Cuz from what I know, FJ only offers Rakuten Japan / Amazon Japan / zozotown etc.

 

Or any individual services where the person will actually go buy the item in person? Is this a thing? If not it should be

fromjapan will do it.. you'll just need to wait for them to send invoice before they process the order. with amazon/rak/zozo, their system automatically calculates total and invoice is sent instantly.

 

they also do in-store pick up for 5,000 per item.
