ElonMy first time at a Yoshiwara soapland (soap = soapland, Japan's bath-based full-service format) was at 25 — back before I'd had the pearls put in. These days, the reaction when I show up with the pearls is one of the little joys. The conversation with a girl who actually asks "Wait, what is that?" turns out to be surprisingly fun.

Points worth knowing

  • Nail the basics first — everything advanced is built on top of the fundamentals
  • Stacked-up experience is the best teacher — you can't absorb this just by reading
  • Find a shop you can trust — to cut down the time you waste second-guessing

My bottom line: I recommend a visit to First Class Ruby. The service quality, the ease of booking, and the overall consistency all hold up.
