Although they have many omiyai services in Japan which dig deep into your past (and wallet) to get the entire scoop on you, my omiyai's have been limited to the girls introduced to me by my parents, relatives, their coworkers, etc.
I could go on about my interesting experiences but I don't want to hijack this thread anymore than I have to.
