Comments on: Hangin’ with the Oguras http://www.wattornot.com/2007/02/08/hangin-with-the-oguras/ For when I feel like bloggin' around Wed, 07 Jan 2009 07:01:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Andrew http://www.wattornot.com/2007/02/08/hangin-with-the-oguras/comment-page-1/#comment-124 Andrew Fri, 09 Feb 2007 03:37:25 +0000 http://www.wattornot.com/2007/02/08/hangin-with-the-oguras/#comment-124 Thanks for the info. I sort of figured that the "Circle of Life" restaurant wasn't serious, hence the qualification that they <i>allegedly</i> serve them. I couldn't find much material on the internet (you're dead to me, Wikipedia!) about the temple or shrine, except for <a href="http://irohaheya.blogspot.com/2006/12/real-koma.html" rel="nofollow">this blog post</a> which seems to be from a TV show fansite or something. So I'm glad I was at least close. Thanks for the info. I sort of figured that the “Circle of Life” restaurant wasn’t serious, hence the qualification that they allegedly serve them.

They are actually an eel restaurant. Also while the shouden temple is pretty famous in the area, and throughout Japan for Koreans, it is the smaller, less impressive Koma shrine next to it, that is really famous. On new years day, there was a 2-3 hour wait just to go up and pray for a few seconds. Enjoying the posts and looking forward to the rest. Oh, Roxy is doing a little better on walks, but now wants to run the entire time. Just a few clarifications: the fish shop in Kawagoe doesn’t actually serve those fish, its just a joke.
