The Story of the Hungry, Gay Ninja

Yesterday was our first day in Kyoto.  Fun Fact:  For this trip, Keith and I decided to only visit cities that are anagrams of Tokyo.  That being said, we are very excited for our next stop in the little-known Japanese hamlet of Kooty!

...

Anyway, after the craziness of monsters, robots and owls that Tokyo offered, we wanted to try something a little more traditional.  So obviously, we opted to go to the Ninja Restaurant and Museum.

This is the great and epic tale of that journey.

The Story of the Hungry, Gay Ninja
A Poem!

Jeff and Keith wandered from their fancy Princess hotel...




...down the dark and quiet streets of Kyoto to find an exciting story to tell.

Jeff was distracted by unique stores...



...but those things are what Keith ignores.



Soon, they found a place that was anything but nonchalant...



...an honest-to-goodness Ninja Restaurant!  


They were taken to a table by a super-friendly staffer...


...just before they were taken to THEIR table by a different friendly staffer.


There they ordered a round of sake...

...and some food you wouldn't find in Milwaukee.

Soon thereafter the show began...

...seemingly written and conceived by a madman.

The plot was scarce, there wasn't much of a story...




...though I suppose it could have been a Japanese allegory.

But with acrobatics and fun...



...these actors worked a ton!


The Monster Cafe it wasn't...



...but complain Jeff and Keith mustn't!

For soon one was picked...

...away from dinner to do some schtick.


Jeff was tricked into training to become a Ninja...

...something that definitely did not make him cringe-a.


And since Keith is a pal who isn't shitty, yo...

...he was kind enough to shoot some ridiculous video.

First up is when Jeff learns the art of the sword...



...even though he just wanted to drink the sake that was poured.

Next is Jeff and his trainers getting attacked...


...surely as the newest Ninja, Jeff was going to be whacked!

But then they empowered him to save the day...

...even though he is hungry and also a gay.


After a tough night of training and ninja-ing...

...it was time to pay the bill.  Ka-cha-ing!

On their way out, Jeff wondered if the swords he could now touch...



...but then thought about it.  It seemed like too much!

Both Jeff and Keith were filled with laughter, doll...

...but they were still hungry for food after all.  

"Fighting took a lot out of me," Jeff whines.

Keith said, "Oooh, look it!  Here's the fix!  Some wines!"


And so the men found some pizza to fill their gut...

...but no, not at the local Kyoto Pizza Hut.


Instead, they went to a local Italian shop that was open late...

...with cute little cartoon characters on each and every plate.



They ate and drank and were merry... having completed their task...

...and then went back to their Princess Hotel, where they definitely didn't have more to drink, why would you even ask?
