I guess it's some sort of cover charge since tipping is not expected.
I heard of someone in Japan that they got stuck with a $300 dollar charge like this and the people responsible for running the establishment he was at attempted to intimidate him when he refused to pay. Though this was in the Roppongi part of Tokyo so I guess it comes with the territory since that's a place where the Mafia operates.
That's bad. There was a story about a bar out here in Itaewon that was putting zolpidem (sleeping pills) into customers drinks and then charging thousands on their credit cards. Some dodgy bars out there.
It looks like Brock is the go to guy when it comes to Japan. Mind you, if he finds it so xenophobic I question why he would want to live their indefinitely considering his hero Trump is making his homeland great again. Talk about flip flops.
