Ginza's Vampire Cafe offering special food and drink in honor of its 24th anniversary
How can you kill a cafe which does not die?
Long-time — and I mean loooong-time — readers of this website may remember back in 2015 when we reported on the Vampire Cafe, an establishment in Ginza where you don't have to be vampiric to dine there, but it helps. Turns out this eatery may very well be immortal because it has not only survived the pandemic but is still thriving as it celebrates its 24th anniversary.
Yes, it was June of 2001 when Count Rose was summoned by destiny to the Vampire Cafe and every year during the same month a special full-course feast of darkness is held in honor of this momentous occasion.

There are two types of full-course anniversary meals served from 1 to 29 June. Each one features some of Vampire Cafe's most popular dishes. Although only introduced last year, the Dark Coffin Consumed by Searing Flames: Wagyu Steak with Chaliapin Sauce quickly rose to such ranks. Its delicious onion sauce and the fact that the entire plate is set on fire at your table are just a few of the reasons for its popularity.

Conversely, a classic dish of the Vampire Cafe is the Resurrection Ritual to Summon the Dark One: Prosciutto & Avocado Salad with Framboise Dressing. Said to be the first entry in the cafe's cooking grimoire, it involves drizzling a dressing made with the blood of raspberries over dead vegetables to bring them back from the other side.

The Dark Poisonous Spider which Nests in Evil Castles: Homemade Ground Wagyu Ragu Pasta uses delectably fatty, coarsely ground beef, which adds the perfect texture to the slow-cooked ragu sauce. They both intermingle in a web of pasta spun by the spider of darkness.

The Demonic Hand of the Count which Drags You into a Sea of Blood: Pescatore Rosso is a surprisingly literal name because the sea of blood this pasta is swimming in is a tomato-based medley of seafood broths with shrimp, clams, and squid added in. It's a sea the Count is going to have to drag me out of if I don't eat that hand first.

Speaking of seafood, another truly enticing dish is the Dark Butterfly of Sorrow Enticing its Sacrifice: Tuna Cutlet with Honey Mustard Sauce. It's some strips of chutoro tuna sashimi which have also been battered and flash fried so that the outside is hot and crispy while the inside is cold and tender. It also comes with a tangy and spicy sauce for an added kick.

And last but not least, we have the Accursed Cross Towering Over the Corpses of Victims: Profiterole Tower. An unholy structure of cream puffs and chocolate rolls with demonic eyes and bats will be the perfect dessert to cap off your time at the Vampire Cafe.

These dishes and others will be found in these anniversary full-course meals. The Vampire Cafe 24th Anniversary Dinner Course sells for 5,000 yen (US$35), while the Vampire Cafe 24th Anniversary Premium Dinner Course can be yours for 8,000 yen ($56).

And with any course meal, you'll want to have a palate cleanser, so why not try a chalice of Anniversary Blood, made with the juices of blood oranges and grapes?

These can all be enjoyed in Vampire Cafe's wide range of booths and tables, both intimate and majestic.
▼ The Victim's Room
▼ The Altar of St. George
It all looks incredibly delicious, but remember these full meals are only to be sold during the month of June and seating is limited, so be sure to make a reservation to accept Count Rose's hospitality and dine in the cafe that never dies.

Scotland man Angus Gunn understands Rangers' pursuit of Russell Martin
Gunn, who is training with the Scotland squad at Lesser Hampden this week ahead of the national team's friendly internationalist against Iceland at Hampden on Friday evening and Liechtenstein on Monday night, can understand why the Govan outfit's new hierarchy are interested in bringing him in. Read more: 'I only worked with him as a player at Norwich,' he said. 'He's a very intellectual guy. I went in there as a young goalkeeper and he helped me massively, even though he wasn't in the team every week and playing regularly. 'He was the captain of the club and he had good relationships with everyone in the dressing room. Obviously, watching what he's done at Southampton, I thought he'd done incredibly well there. 'He probably was unfortunate to lose his job there because it's always difficult for teams coming up from the Championship to even compete with some of the Premier League teams. (Image: Andrew Milligan) 'I watch him now on the TV and can see the way he wants to play and his philosophy. I really hope whatever he goes on to in his career is successful. 'I don't know if he's going to go to Rangers or not, but obviously he had a spell there as well, so he kind of knows the club a little bit. I think it would be a really good thing for the Rangers, to be fair.' Read more: Gunn, who is set to win his 16th cap for his adopted homeland against Iceland, knew early on that Martin, who played 29 times for the country of his father's birth in the 2010s, was destined to become a manager when he started playing with him at Norwich. 'There were a few other players in that dressing room who were like that,' he said. 'Steven Naismith was there as well. But you can definitely tell on the pitch when you're playing with players. They kind of start coaching whilst they're still playing, if you like, sort of organising on the pitch. 'He was one of them. But Russell wasn't just on the pitch, he was off the pitch as well, where he had close relationships with everyone. Even though, like I said, he wasn't a regular playing in the team, he was always on hand and always upbeat and a good person to go to.'

Justin Bieber fans beg star to 'take a social media break' after another rant
Singer Justin Bieber concerned fans with his latest social media posts, and many users asked him to take a break from Instagram Justin Bieber went on another rant on social media, and fans rushed to beg the singer to take a 'break from social media'. The 31-year-old Peaches singer has been concerning fans in recent weeks with his erratic online behaviour, which included lengthy rants to shocking admissions about his wife Hailey Bieber's US Vogue cover. In his latest Instagram post, over a pink background, he shared with his followers: "Telling other humans they deserve something is like raising someone else's kids. Who are you to tell someone what someone should or shouldn't have. The audacity. That's not your place. God decides what we deserve." Fans immediately shared their worries for the star in the comment section, with one user writing: "God told me you need a social media break," as over 21,000 fans liked the comment. "Brother didn't you tell your wife she could never be on the cover of vogue??" one person referenced his recent admission about a fight he had with his wife. Justin. You told Hailey she couldn't be on a cover of Vogue, isn't that telling her she couldn't have something ?" another person commented. Sorry singer Justin, who was recently centre of rumours surrounding his marriage to Hailey, was recently slammed by fans after he said he told his wife and mum of his son, Jack Blues, that she would never grace the cover of Vogue during a heated argument. Responding to her cover shot for the US edition of the magazine on Instagram, he mused: "'Yo, this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight, I told Hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue. Yikes, I know, so mean. For some reason because I felt so disrespected, I thought I gotta get even. "Think as we mature we realise that we're not helping anything by getting even, we're honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection." He concluded his post by writing a message directly to Hailey, which read: "So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn't get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken." While some claimed he was simply joking, many slammed the Canadian singer over his comments. He soon replaced the caption with a shrugging emoji. Fans noticed the change, with one writing: "Not him changing the caption." Not long after, it was revealed Hailey struck a huge deal to sell her beauty and skincare brand Rhode to e.l.f. Beauty in a transaction that could reach a staggering £740 million ($1billion).

Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels came right out of the gate on Monday night's game against the Boston Red Sox like a house on fire.

Zach Neto started the Angels' home run party with a solo shot off Boston starter Richard Fitts.
