I don't know of any restaurant here that does that, but sometimes bars and such throw parties for their regulars, and they're kinda like that. A few grill, there's drinks, people talk and hang out, etc.

In Tokyo? Country House? If so, I've been, heh.

If it was a chain and had free refills at a drink bar, it might have been Johnathon's https://www.skylark.co.jp/en/jonathan/menu/index.html

There are a bunch of other one-off places as well.

Columbus, OH had a gay western bar one that turned into the goth club by the time I first went there.

healthy food like many Japanese diets do

Wanna explain what that is? Because obesity is on the rise here and people day-to-day are just eating konbini (convenience store) pre-packaged stuff laden with fried food and instant noodles.

American living in Japan here and I grill weekly on my Weber over charcoal. When I lived in Texas, we grilled whenever we could, basically. In the midwest, my grandparents had a Jenair for when the weather was bad and grilled at least once a week. They were rich, though, so there's that.

There are a couple of "real" BBQ places, but none that I know of that would have sufficient lawn for lawn chairs. There are plenty of grill-your-own places here, most of which are Korean-style BBQ, but some of which let you grill other things. As I think about it, I don't think I've seen the type of lawn chair (like oven "fabric" style) that I was used to here; it's all just plastic molded chairs these days.

174. I was supposed to be taller going by the wingspan measurement thing, but my back decided to disagree. I was actually 173 until recently but somehow went back up. Weightloss might help

Nice try, Kao. Even if everything it seems is brought to us by you, I'm not going out to buy your goods

Just whatever makes it on fedi, fark, and the news here in Japan. I do occasionally watch local/regional US news where my family live if something is going on (hurricanes or such for example).
