IKEBUKURO: Karaoke 747... You can haggle if there are neighboring Karaoke Spots!

A buddy of mine is the best haggler in Ikebukuro when it comes to Karaoke and at rare times the hostess bars.  We walked by a neighboring Karaoke spot and they charge 1,240yen for 1 hour of karaoke and all you can drink...  A few steps away we mentioned the deal to a neighboring Karaoke spot and they gave us a 1,080 yen deal.  Gotta haggle!

The all you can drink Menu... its cheaper if you don't add the beer option.

The only available room was a huge party room.

No more books... song selected all via this unit but you can sing to it to find your song.

Stage in the far corner near the screens.

When going to Karaoke in Ikebukuro definitely haggle with the sales guys outside... they will make a deal for room and nomihoudai!

OKINAWA NAHA: Don-Sushi Maguro-Ya at Tomari Iyumachi Seafood Restaurant Row... fresh maguro yum!

My uncle invited me to lunch on my visit to Okinawa... he always frequents this fisherman's wharf to pick up some extremely inexpensive fish.

I gave Don-Sushi Maguro-Ya a try.

Lots of different sushi bowls but I'm a huge maguro fan.

500 yen for my bowl.  Super fresh and it included Okinawan Umi-Budo! Yum.

Sea Grapes!

This fisherman's warf is filled with restaurants and fish shops just like Tsukiji on a smaller scale.

If in Naha City you have to visit this place!
