Seems to be more acceptable in Japanese society. The next Friday night was the end of term party, so I was given a map to the all you can eat and drink place, and told to show up. Found the place. It was in the red light district of town. I've ridden thru this area at night, and you can tell it's all about sin.
Women stand out side of establishments and try to lure men in.
It's all guys that are milling about. Lots of men. Called snack bars here. I, of course, partook in the all you can eat. Damned plates were salad plate sized, so after the tenth plate, people were starting to notice.
