One More Okusama Yokohama Kannai — Thinking About the Reassurance of a Chain Shop

The "Reassurance" and the "Homogenization" of a Chain Shop

One More Okusama is a delivery health (delivery health, deriheru) brand operating multiple shops, centered on the Kanto region. It has locations in Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Omiya, and Yokohama too. I've used this brand at several of its shops.

If I lay out my basic stance toward chain-operated sex-trade shops — I expect "a stable baseline," while being a little worried about "a thinness of character."

ElonWhat gets standardized across a chain is the "reception tone," the "service flow," and the "guarantee of a minimum quality." On the other hand, each location's particular character and the personality of the individual women differ from shop to shop. In other words, the value of a chain is that "the worst case rarely happens" — and "the best experience" has nothing to do with whether it's a chain.

One More Okusama Yokohama Kannaiten is open from 9 a.m. to 5 a.m. the next morning. That's a standard time range for a delivery health in the Yokohama/Kannai area.

In Yokohama in September

Mid-September. A meeting in Yokohama ran long, and it was past 9 p.m. by the time I left Kannai. Heading east toward Isezaki rather than west toward Minato Mirai, I made the call.

The man at reception handled it steadily. There's a politeness shared across the "One More Okusama series." When I got the same tone of "quality in how they ask" in Yokohama that I'd felt at the Shinjuku shop, I thought, "Ah, they really do train their people here."

When I told them what I wanted, they came back as usual with a two-option pitch: "Among today's staff, these two would be closest to what you're after."

The Girl at the Yokohama Shop

The wait was about 30 minutes. Thanks to the geographic advantage of the Kannai area, travel time was short, so things moved fast.

The woman who came had the typical "okusama-style" composure. But what stuck with me at this Yokohama shop wasn't the service technique so much as the "quality of conversation."

It started with one line — "Have you been in Yokohama long?" — and rolled on through talk about the area and about work, easy and inoffensive. It's the kind of conversation where "talk as part of the service" comes across as natural "dialogue." I think that's down to personality far more than technique.

ElonOne of the hallmarks of "okusama-style" service is exactly this "natural conversational skill." Conversation at a young-girl delivery health inevitably gives off a "sales pitch" feel. With an experienced woman, though, that sales feel thins out and it starts to feel like you're "just talking with a person." I think that's one of the fundamental reasons people who love the married-woman/okusama category love it.

My Conclusion on Chain Shops

If I sum up the experience of using One More Okusama in Yokohama — the reassurance of a chain operation was real. At the same time, the personality of the woman I had came through plenty. Homogenization and individuality coexisted nicely.

At the very least, for "your first shop in an area you've never used before," I'm reminded again that a chain is a rational choice.

Summary

If your thinking in Yokohama is "first, one shop, a delivery health that definitely won't miss," One More Okusama Yokohama Kannai meets that condition.
