The earlier I start my day, the earlier I can finish. I had GCP (green curry prep) duty today and I was determined to finish in time to meet up with some friends. But first I had some shopping to do for basa and Hanaya (支那そば 華屋) was on my route. This shop is run by all middle-aged ladies that are super nice. Perhaps that is why the broth was so sweet. Almost too sweet.
This Hanaya-soba was an average bowl with Taishoken-like noodles, but it still warmed me up for the cool winter breeze blowing outside. If I go back, it probably wouldn't be for the ramen.
GCP done! 終了！Time to hit the alps!
As always, it got crazy around us pretty quick.
And a beer flood rushed through our table.
But we managed to make last train--a rarity.
And I was given an egg--an incredible egg.
An incredibly expensive egg.
An incredibly amazing egg.
