Soapland in Horinouchi and the Service

Today I'm writing on the theme of "soapland in Horinouchi and the service."

I'll break it down using my own firsthand experience — more than 20 years in fuzoku — mixed in with what I've dug up through research.

The Basics

Let me lay out the fundamentals you ought to know about this corner of the business.

Elon (Admin)I have no ambition to conquer every soapland in the country, but I've made the rounds of the "signature" soaplands in each region. My conclusion: service quality and cleanliness aren't proportional. Even a dirt-cheap shop can deliver god-tier service.

Watch this industry long enough and you'll see that the same topic can score completely differently depending on whether you're looking through the customer's eyes or the girl's.

What I Can Say From Experience

I'm speaking from what I've actually lived through.

Elon (Admin)42, single, living alone. When nearly your whole paycheck disappears into fuzoku, you naturally develop an eye for the real thing. I'm not bragging and I'm not regretful — I'm just putting it down as fact.

I believe real experience matters more than theory. In this business especially, "time on the floor" beats "knowledge" every time.

Wrap-Up and My Verdict

Elon (Admin)After foreskin surgery and a pearl implant, I now carry the confidence of a man who's "fully prepared." My range in the room widened, sure — but the psychological ease is on another level entirely. To anyone agonizing over getting work done: I can say "do it, no regrets."

The place I keep coming back to is First Class Ruby. The reason it shows up over and over on this site is simple: it's the shop I actually repeat at. Use that for what it's worth.
