@68degreesorless Haraki-San is very focused on his work/design, but very open to ideas, he does have an understanding of English, but we do use Sarina to translate.

Hello everyone!! Just resurrecting this thread to ask if there are recommendations for restaurants in Shinjuku (or near Hatsudai Station) for a family of 5 to experience proper Japanese food?
We are in Tokyo in February for 8 days and will eat anything! We have the Harry Potter Studio booked for the kids (14, 13, 7) and will walk the city and eat, and visit parks and shrines and maybe Disneyland.
I am planning Freewheelers, Real McCoys and Fullcount visits as they’re all a 40 minute walk from our house.
Cheers!!

I'll drop you a PM later today
Amazing thank you! I’d love to go to the IH store but wondering it might be too far for just a morning..

Hi gang, just stumbled across this thread as I’m doing research for my Japan trip coming up this fall. The images from the factory are absolutely incredible. It’s done nothing but get me even more hyped up for my visit.
I’m planning on hitting the Osaka store, and will be grabbing my first pair(s) of IHs on the trip. I’ll be making a pit stop by to see my buds at Guilty Party in Atlanta first, to try on the 666 and 634 cuts so I can dial in some sizing.
I know the Osaka store is smaller, from everything I’ve seen but feeling confident I’ll be able to find a couple. I also got messaged the Osaka IG, on the recommendation of Giles (I believe) to get some insight on their stock. Holding off on that, as it’s still quite some time before I visit and I know that’s likely to change.
I am curious if anyone knows if there is a lot of difference in the fit of the 634 and 9634 cuts. I searched but couldn’t find any threads related to that specific question.
Either way, just wanted to pop in and mention how pumped I am for this trip, and that this thread only increased that level of hype.

Take a look here:

And then a run a compare against the IH-666S and the IH-634S:
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum//post/7686
But a word of warning, the 666 cut was designed by me for the western market, and the Japanese stores tend to carry very few (or the 888 or the 555 or the 777 or the 1955 for that matter.)
Have a great trip.....You will love it....

@Giles sounds great. I’ll definitely peak at that post. I’ve tried to note the measurements and even attempted to get the best I can off the IH Japan site.
I’m honestly leaning more towards the 634/9634, this could all work out very well. I’ll just say we drew up the plan that way.
It’s gonna be a trip to remember for sure.
