I see. So you assume that if that was the situation ten years ago, it's
still so now? As it happens, Saison probably changed their conditions
not long after, because I didn't need a Japanese guarantor (I did try to
be clever and do without a guarantor altogether, but the helpful guy who
rang me from Saison said that even Japanese people need one, which does
seem reasonable).
