I really hate all the slideshows...it's not that I don't like them. It's that 1. I have a compulsion to look at every. single. photo. and there sure are a lot! and 2. they really makes me miss Japan. and 3. they makes me *damn* hungry!

(^_~) <BR/><BR/>Ivan Ramen looks to be THE PLACE! :) Seriously, though, it's really sad (as you said)... even the worst places I tried in Japan (so far) have been better than the best stuff in So Cal. There's a level of quality, execution and pride going into each bowl of magic.<BR/><BR/>That Buta Roasted Tomato Meshi looks great. The Hanjyuku Tamago!!! Are you kidding me?! :) Sigh.<BR/><BR/>Next time we'll have to try a few places out when schedules permit! :)Exile Kisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510114278526493928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559927128534150588.post-35212888987081298412009-04-09T05:47:00.000-04:002009-04-09T05:47:00.000-04:00Hi Jenn.

And this is before having a chance to try it! To me he's got it all. The concept and kodawari but also the vision to try something different. Most important he's so passionate. All this is making me passionately hungry.Dennis K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14818629163699623022noreply@blogger.com
