Two drinks down. All righty. Let’s go. Some of these bars are are called uh members. They’re basically members bar. And what that means, it’s not like you buy a Costco membership or anything like that. It’s basically whether the bar master likes you. You have to be introduced by a patron and then if you pass the vibe check, you get to come back. V check. There’s one right here. And usually people are all not everybody gets to They’re dressed by my uh even the locals. This is also where they get the sake and then they have a bunch of stuff. Look at this. It’s looks Look at that. All righty, we’re done with the standing bar. Sake was really good. And on to the next tune. Hey. Yeah. Please wait. Okay. Now, okay. Please wait. Please wait. Please wait.

No, originally this was a tea house. And so in the tea house, basically you have to bow to enter. When you bow and enter, you do status. Now it’s a bar where you bow and enter. You status talk to anyone else. Also, these doors are make sure no one can stab a stab from the back. You got a hit on you. Go ahead. We bow. Should we bow or no? [Music] That’s it. We got to squeeze. Squeeze. I think only four and a half. You wanted that? Uh, they’re both the same percentages. I went strong and taste [Applause] really easy. Put the masculine way of saying this again. That makes me come fly to our new [Music] All righty. So, we already parted with the group. How did you think? What do you think about it? Definitely worth it. Worth it. The tour guys was awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. It was like one almost like kind of one drink per um per bar. Uh well, my birthday is tomorrow and we told the tour guide that and they were like, “Oh, let’s just, you know, your birthday is today so we get some free drinks and whatever.” So, we said, “Perfect. My birthday’s today.” So, we got a free not free shots because the other guy paid for it because his birthday is next week. Yeah. So, he paid for it. It’s 4,800 yen. That was like nothing. There were like what? Almost like 10 like 11 of us in there. So, yeah, that was awesome. That was so fun. That was so cool.
