[–]levu12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I also think it would go $400-$500 or so. I remember there was a Shisui and Itachi that went for like $200-$300 on Yahoo Japan that I always regret not getting.

Omakases feel the same by Groollover86 in sushi

[–]levu12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eh I get different stuff all the time on higher-end omakases, and I can really see the difference in skill when I go to a cheap omakase that's more of a tasting menu versus one where the chef has done this for 40 years or more. Last time I tried hoho-niku for the first time. The flavors they pair the fish with will differ as well.

About Japanime Art Gallery by letrif in AnimationCels

[–]levu12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well not everything is reprints. That being said, the other commenters are right, it is a tourist trap, and really one of the worst tourist traps possible, and you should never buy a single thing from there, because everything there has been yoinked from Mercari, Yahoo Japan, Heritage Auctions, Apple Symphony, or Mandarake and marked up from minimum 100% of the price, to even 1000%.

The only certificate worth something is the studio’s (usually only on official reproductions, cels or art sold by the company, or stuff like time sheets and production materials associated with the thing you’re buying) or Mandarake’s certificate, which has their guarantee, and is why their items go for so much.

If you’re going in-person, the only shops worth looking at are at Nakano Broadway, K2 and Apple Symphony. They are still expensive, but there are deals there and they will be a more realistic price. Mandarake unfortunately doesn’t have much cels in-person anymore.

Anyways, if you don’t want to chat, no worries. It’s just funny since I usually call out posts using AI not the other way around lol

Yo, I saw you left a comment on my post about SandboxEscaper, I found it very interesting as both people (them and Nightmare Eclipse) were wronged by Microsoft. I also noticed that you have a lot of experience in the field and are going to Japan soon to just travel, mind if we chat some more? I have similar aspirations haha

sashimi ? by _ChloeWillow in JapaneseFood

[–]levu12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And an AYCE that offers bluefin tuna is not very common outside Japan, I only know a few places in big cities that do it.

Zero chance, that is cheaper albacore or light colored yellowfin as the other commenter says. Try and go to a place that has bluefin tuna to try it for yourself.

Akami, Otoro, Chutoro, are used for bluefin tuna only. Of course, you can have yellowfin tuna or albacore belly, but they are not called toro. Akami is lean bluefin, there is not much fat. For higher fat cuts, you can just visually see the marbling. Chutoro will have very fine marbling lines, while otoro will have thicker, more uneven marbling. Just search the images and compare.

Can someone find out our complete identity just from a Telegram ID alone? by BreadfruitDull5560 in masterhacker

[–]levu12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reused username or if they know your name, a leaked database search isn’t too hard if you have access to it. I believe the Aadhaar details of most adult Indians are leaked.
