SAYUKI, Japan&#8217;s first Occidental NJ certified Geisha, is offering special party rates to large groups of NJ clientele. This is a special deal, so if you&#8217;d like a glimpse into the Geisha artisan circles (and want to see what the cultural fuss is all about), book a group rate at a very special discount.

So far, some groups have been all foreigners, and some half Japanese half foreign. We have had foreign businessmen entertaining their Japanese counterparts, foreign residents entertaining visiting friends and relatives, foreign organisations and work parties, all kinds; its been a lot of fun.<\/p>\n<p><!--402e6714c2562acda8d04b5f3ef9688a--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi All.
