Lauren Tawaramoto Brothel ❤️❤️

About Yokohama

Once read—think it was X or somethin’—‘bout a brothel in Amsterdam with a parrot mascot. Freakin’ bird squawked dirty words at johns! Had me cacklin’—imagine that, a parrot pimp! D’oh! But then, gets ya thinkin’. Happy some gals choose it—freedom, cash, whatever. Pisses me off when they don’t. “This is our shot!”—like in *Spotlight*—to call out the creeps forcin’ it. Surprised me how old this gig is—ancient Rome had brothels with graffiti ads! “Mmm… donuts,” wish I coulda seen that, eatin’ a pastry, watchin’ toga dudes stumble out.

A Brief History of Soaplands

There are many underground brothels in Fukuoka, including Hakata, Ogura, and Kurosaki and here are the results of our taste test!

Finally, I head home, and I’m exhausted. I flop on my couch, thinking about the day. It was wild, emotional, and totally unexpected. Tawaramoto, you’ve got my heart racing! I can’t wait for that festival. But first, I need to find my favorite onigiri flavor. Seriously, it’s a must!
