Glamorous Soapland, Omiya

Elon, with 20-plus years in the fuzoku world, breaks down glamorous Omiya soaplands from firsthand experience.

Glamorous Soapland, Omiya

Today I'm writing on the theme of "glamorous soapland, Omiya."

I'll mix in my own firsthand experience — 20-plus years deep in the fuzoku world (Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business) — with what I've turned up in my research.

The basics

Let me lay out the fundamentals worth knowing about this subject.

Elon
ElonAfter surveying nightlife all over the world, my conclusion is that nightlife rooted in the local culture is the richest. In that sense, I think Japan's fuzoku is world-class. Not blind love — a verdict reached by comparison.

Watch the business long enough and you'll see how the same subject gets graded completely differently from the customer's side versus the girl's side.

What experience has taught me

Let me talk from what I've actually been through.

ElonMy first time at a Yoshiwara soapland was at 25 — back before I'd had the pearls put in. These days the reaction when I go in with the pearls is one of the little pleasures. The conversation with a girl who asks "what is this?" is surprisingly fun.

I believe firsthand experience beats theory. Especially in this business, it's a world where "reps" matter more than "knowledge."

Wrap-up and my verdict

Elon
ElonI don't aim to conquer every soapland in the country, but I've been through the "signature soaplands" in each region. My verdict: service quality and cleanliness don't correlate. There are dirt-cheap places with god-tier service.

The place I end up going back to is First Class Ruby. The reason it keeps showing up on this site is simple: it's the shop I keep returning to. Take it as a reference.
