If you haven’t been to Yamachan then you’re missing out, of course, it will help if you like Chicken Wings too otherwise you’re not really missing out on anything at all.
Yamachan have been going strong for about 30 years now and although they have many items on the menu they’re best known for their chicken wings.
I like my beers cold and my wings spicy, no problems with both of those at Yamachan. The wings come in 2 flavours, normal and spicy and each serve is 5 wings in total at a cost of 400 yen.
Pictured here is the first plate of 20 wings me and my buddy shared, or wings for 4 people is how you’d order.
Beware though, these wings are moorish, it’s hard to stop after 10 a piece so we grabbed another 20 wings and a few more beers to wash them down.
You can buy salads there too, so i’m told, but not on my watch, it’s beer and wings when i go to Yamachan.
Yamachan stores are all over the place, i’m sure there’ll be one close to you, check out the website if you can read Japanese. The one we went to was right next door to Shin-Okubo station, in the heart of Korean town.
I love Yamachan but it’s probably not worthy enough to sneak into the Seven Wonders Of Japan, if you haven’t checked the voting out then head over now, there’s still about 2 weeks to go.
Unfortunately the G-String is a rare sight in Japan, during my first trip to Japan in 2002 i found this out and said to Friends back home that there was a market importing G-Strings to Japan, nothing came of it though.
I’m not sure why they’re not popular here, girls would rather have a VPL than wear a Gee, maybe its a comfort thing, which surprises me considering some of the bras they make here and here.
So, browsing through Rakuten online the other day i noticed the V-Back, a new line of underwear for girls in Japan, or anywhere for that matter i guess.
I still fail to see how it works, no matter how long i study the photo’s, maybe a decent set of hips are a mandatory requirement for the V-Back.
After a little translation i was also surprised to see it’s a “Big fashion item in Australia right now!” (オーストラリアで大流行の下着) i’d be interested in hearing if there’s any truth in that.
If your Japanese is proficient here’s the rest of the sales pitch “今、オーストラリアで大流行の下着、Vバック。名前のごとく、後ろはV字になっているのでローライズパンツを履いても下着が見えるかどうかの心配もなく、アウターにも響きません。外から見ればまるで、下着をつけていないよう。
They’re about $30 a piece which seems pretty cheap to me.
It doesn’t look all that comfortable either, i think i would keep try and hitch it up. Not sure i really like to be honest with you, but then again i don’t have to wear it so my opinion means nothing.
Before moving here i must admit i was a little nervous about the higher rate of ‘natural disasters’ or at least events that may lead to a disaster. I didn’t really know what to expect nor how i would handle each situation as it arose.
In Australia, day to day living is never really affect by natural events many other countries experience. Yes there are floods and droughts but these are different to the Tornados, Hurricanes, Cyclones and Earthquakes which i’m talking about here.
My buddy Motts was here a few weeks ago and he mentioned he was hoping there’d be one while he was here, obviously just something minor, causing no destruction, but to get the sense of what it’s like to live in an Earthquake prone region. I assured him there’d be some seismic movement over the week but there was minimal.
Not much more than a week after he’s gone we had a reasonable size one last night around midnight, almost as big as the last. It didn’t occur to me to check how big it was and considering it was at night i missed all the TV broadcasting.
After checking the JMA i was surprised to see how big it was and how far reaching it spread, maybe i’m getting used to Earthquakes in Japan.
Also, check out a Map Of Japan and see the scale of the coverage for last nights action.
