Day 1028:
During break I went across the street to slurp at Mentsuu and have a chat with their boss. Kenji-san is a really cool guy. He threw away his office job and started by opening a yatai in Shibuya. He had no real training in ramen and taught himself practically everything he knows. After ten years doing the yatai he finally shut it down and opened a shop in Shindaita. 20 or so years later it is still going strong.
Great guy with lots of knowledge about ramen. His dream is to someday open a ramen shop in America. I think I may know someone who can help with that...
