I have some more stories. Does anyone else have any?

The Sushi must taste like a sponge soaked in soya sauce *YUK*
My well remembered experience was in a small traditional Kyoto Izakaya.
I good friend and well known 65 year old gentleman in the area took us. The little place was run by a man and his misses, and he introduced her to us as name 'Piggy'. As I was a foreigner, he complimented us by serving some raw Chicken. I was not game to eat it at all. It was bad enough eating the small whole headless fish on the previous plate. Just before leaving the place, I pushed my high wooden stool back under the counter, I was very intoxicated, and I ripped half the skin off on the upside of my hand.. Bizzare story, but very true and I still have the scars six years later!
