The Chatsubo or Chat, is a bar in Ninsei of Chiba City, 2 block east of Jarre de Thé. The bartender was Ratz occasionally replaced by Kurt. Kirin and Tsingtao beer are served there.
It was frequented by expatriates; there were almost no Japanese there. Figures seen there were African sailors, Lonny Zone's whores, Wage with his joeboys, and Case. On weeknights it attracted a dealing clientele. On Fridays and Saturdays it was flooded by sailors from the Chiba port and specialists preying on them.
In Japanese, chatsubo (茶壺) means "tea bowl" or “tea jar”. It thus has the same name as Jarre de Thé.
