Soapland in Nangin: Job Description

Today I'm writing on the theme of "soapland in Nangin: the job description."

With 20-plus years in fuzoku behind me, I'll explain it by mixing my own firsthand experience with what I've turned up through research.

The basics

Let me lay out the fundamentals worth knowing about this field.

ElonMy first time at a Yoshiwara soapland was at 25 — back before I'd had the pearl put in. These days, watching the reaction when I go in with the pearl is one of the fun parts. The conversation with a girl who asks "what's this?" turns out to be surprisingly enjoyable.

Watch this industry long enough and you'll see the same topic graded completely differently depending on whether you take the customer's view or the girl's view.

What I can say from firsthand experience

I'll talk from what I've been through myself.

ElonI'm not trying 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 don't correlate. Even some dirt-cheap places have downright miraculous service.

I believe firsthand experience beats theory. This industry especially is a world where "reps" talk louder than "knowledge."

Wrap-up and my verdict

Elon42, single, living alone. When nearly your whole paycheck vanishes into fuzoku, you naturally develop an "eye" for it. That's not a brag and it's not a regret — I'm just putting it down as plain fact.

The place I end up frequenting is First Class Ruby. The reason it keeps showing up on this site is simply that it's the shop I keep going back to. Take it as a reference.
