No, they are not singing!
I found those deep-fried “hata-hata”/Japanese sandfish outside a Japanese restaurant in Numazu City harbor!

My usually prudish half turned up triumphantly with this strange daikon grown in her parents’ garden!
I didn’t know where to start cutting it…
In the end I saw gradually disappearing as I grated the whole for a “daikon-nabe”!

Last Tuesday night I had to go to the lavatory in a fairly busy and popular izakaya (sorry, I won’t tell you the name!) in Shizuoka City.
The “Mens” and “Ladies” were separate (important deatil!).
I found this “notice” pinned on the wall at eye-level.
The notice says:
“Genki no nai Otoko ha mamushi sake!”/Viper Sake for people (men) not feeling enrgetic!”
This is real sake in which a snake was marinated!
The note says above that you should be careful not too drink too much, or you will suffer from nosebleed (Japanese men supposedly go through this predicament when their libido is overstimulated!).
Actually, orders are limited to a single glass. It had better work as it costs a whopping 22 US$!
Last, but not least, as if men needed more incentive, they added a picture of a “well-endowed” man (face not shown!) wearing snake skin pants!
N.B.: A lady friend in our party told us later that there was nothing hanging on the wall inside the ladies’ facilities!

(Sorry, mate!
this might be the best noodle, but you can get only one!)
In Japan, like in many non-English speaking countries (not a general rule, mind you!), one can find some humorous gems when people feel the need to use English for whatever PR purposes!
The above noodle example is a fairly tame one!
But advertizing “Junk Food” might be going a bit too far!
Too much writing can only take you that far!
This “Marine Choir” is not only strikingly funny, it is a real piece of art!
You might have a hard time using those erasers!
Heart Space? No comment!
That Bar is definitely tempting!
True! This is the name of a bar in Fujieda City!
Who’s on the pick up? I wonder, …
Keep your paws off the grub, mate!
Not only customers are invited to smoke in this cheap cafe, but English teachers might do some good work there!
Sushi is very popular in Shizuoka City, even on the buses!
Outrageous Recipe?
