The end of my Osaka visits
Well, that was weak sauce.
Regular at Osaka since 2005, hadn't been back for about 18 mos. Due to travel circumstances. Mamasan greeted me as usual, was introduced to a lady who, when asked her name, sort of sneered and said "Me, uh. Kimchee." Her bad attitude continued when after a cursory TS, I was upsold to %150 of the usual FS fee. I held firm, as I do not bring extra with me inside such establishments, and she was all "okay baby, next time you bring more, but I give you special today, okay?" Special like the short bus. After having paid for a one hour massage ($70 house fee) was out the door in exactly 30 minutes of the lamest AMP experience I've ever had.
Osaka lost a customer today; I will not be back. If this is the level that the hobby has sunk to on the east coast, I'm out. Cannot recommend. And I have had some marvelous FS experiences in years past at Osaka.
