Ava Nagai Brothel ❤️❤️

About Osaka

I remeber this one time, back in ‘89, wrestlin’ in Reno—heard whispers bout this cathouse, hidden behind a saloon. Locals swore it was haunted, brother! Girls workin’ there said some cowboy ghost kept rearrangin’ the pillows—spooky shit! Made me laugh, but I was like, “Hulkster don’t scare easy!” Got me thinkin’—history’s wild in those places, lotta stories, lotta sweat.

A pink salon (ピンクサロン, pinkusaron), or pinsaro (ピンサロ) for short, is a type of brothel in Japan which specialises in oral sex. Nagai documented.

First stop, the local market on Kōen-dōri. It’s always packed. I’m dodging people like I’m in some kinda video game. I grab some fresh veggies, and this old lady starts chatting me up. She’s like, “You know, you should try the mochi from that stand over there.” I’m like, “Yeah, sure, lady.” But honestly, I’m just trying to get my stuff and bounce.
