Quiet calm...

Day 799:

Today is a day to rest.


Just slurp my usual two bowls...


And drink a latte after work.


休肝日。

Sweet[spontaneous]ness...

Day 798:

Sweetness is waking up and not knowing what will happen.

Shio Ramen from Ryu-chan

Sweetness is having friends that know how to make sweets.


Sweetness is being able to say "how the F did they do that?"


Sweetness is being sick of seeing rabbits.


Sweetness is sometimes way too sweet.


Sweetness is walking half a mile to subdue a pizza craving.


Sweetness is becoming a friend of MMA fighter Guy DeLumeau.


Sweetness is giant balls of chicken.


Sweetness is being lured into a dying breed of shack-like, if-you're-a-foreigner-you'll-probably-never-encounter-someplace-like-this izakaya.


Sweetness is enjoying what everyday life throws at you, whatever it may be.


Sweetness is oden at 5am.


Sweetness is getting home and going to sleep.

Bora bora...

Day 797:

Paradise is usually not what it seems. Everyone imagines it differently. To me, paradise is a paradigmatic paradox.


This...is my paradise.


And this too.


Well, you get the theme.


It's good to know that I still have friends that believe in me.


And it's good to know that someone else's view of paradise can be so jaded.


Or is it mine that's jaded?


In any case, I don't think I want to go there.

Rabbit and friends...

Day 796:

Manmos (道玄坂マンモス) or Mammoth is a new tsukemen shop in Shibuya.


They have two types of noodles to choose from: Mochiri (もっちり) or Haiga (胚芽).


Lately with almost all tsukemen shops tasting the same, it's nice to see a place that puts more focus on the noodles.


I ordered the Mochiri 麺.


As was expected, they were chewy and mochi-mochi.


The soup was indeed similar to all those other tonkotsu-gyokai shops but I can see myself coming back here.


Boom got the Haiga 麺. It was less chewy and had more firmness with a subtle wheat flavor. I might go for these next time.


Back at basa we were joined by some beautiful people from Singapore. Boom and Nobo seemed really nervous.


They were friends of the rabbit.


And now friends of the beast.
