Hey guys, I just remembered something that a friend mentioned the other day. We were going to go to the ramen house for halloween when we were all in cosplay, until a friend stopped us and told us something very important.
The owner of the shop is actually pretty offended by people coming in, dressed in cosplay. I can understand where it comes from. You wouldn't really want to have your own little shop in a foreign country, and have people coming into your place that is supposed to be of tradition, and have them act crazy, and all sorts of other things. To him, cosplayers already have a bad name, so let's try to not make this too bad of a visit for him.
I would like to request that when we go, please, please, please, be on VERY good behaviour. If you are in cosplay, and very obvious cosplay at that I mean, Please bring a jacket or something to cover it up. If your outfit is more formal and not so much costume, I would guess you would be fine. I personally am going to bring a second jacket to wear rather than my tuxedo jacket when we go to dinner.
