So do I... All that deep-fried Kushiage stuff would take it's toll in no time. :sweat:

I guess that's where the beer comes in. :beaten:

When I ate the kushikatsu I was knocking back those beers as if they were bottles of water....but then again I drank even more when I ate yakitori in Umeda (part of Osaka). I think I drank like 9 beers, and my buddy had 3. :drink:

No wonder the bill was 18,000 Yen = 202 dollars US. :metaldevil:

Yup...granted we ate a lot but the drinks are what really add to the bill. 12 beers that evening at 800 Yen a pop, 9600 Yen = 107 dollars US...that's over half the bill! :hehe:

Nobody ever said Japan was cheap, especially if you're there to pig out, drink your ass off, and party. :P

EDIT: Truth be told, I've spent 200 dollars at Shinsengumi eating and drinking with one of my buddies. :beaten:

Re: the yakitori vs. kushiage/kushikatsu episode...yeah I've seen that one before.

The best is they go all bonkers finds the most delicious chicken throughout the country, and get the best charcoal wood to cook that dayem bird. That show was all about superlatives...

Totally forgot about last night's episode: Fukagawa Don vs. Curry Don.

That was kind of surprising, with the bonito and kagoshima pork, SOMEBODY should have voted for that side!! :crazy:

My record at Shinsengumi was $340 for me, my friend and his wife, including tip. :shamefulcry: :shamefulcry:
we had to walk around for about an hour before anyone could drive. :beaten:

Sounds like we're on familiar footing then! :beaten: :bow:

I'm merely waiting for another wallet busting evening there...it depends on the company, truth be told. If I go with a girl...the bill is decidedly cheaper...if I go with one of my homeboys, forget it, destruction.

unfortunately, quite a few of my female friends can out-eat AND out-drink me. :sweat:

Tonight: Tiramisu vs. Mango Pudding.

Nakama Yukie is one of the guest judges. :)
