Bujin...
Day 1123:
Menya Musashi Bujin (麺屋武蔵 武仁) in Akihabara has been recommended to me many times in the past so when the president says 'let's go', we go!
The Akiba Karii Tsukemen (アキバカリーつけ麺) looked interesting...
But the president suggested I try the Bujin Tsukemen (武仁つけ麺), one of his favorites. And when the president talks, I listen.
The tsukemen here is a bit like Rokurinsha, but with a slightly lighter feel. In other words, it's thick but it doesn't feel too thick. Its sweetness is manageable and the thick block of chashu is remarkably tender.
Thank you mister prez!!! I'm so glad that you are doing better! 頑張って！
Cheese senbei!! Spicy Chicken Nuggets!!
I decided to change it up a little.

Veggie soba...
Day 1009:
As a promise to Miyazaki-san...
I went back to Soranoiro to try the Veggie Soba (ベジソバ).
With paprika blended into the noodles, this veggie soba is interesting. It's good, but it feels a little too healthy for me. haha.
And don't be fooled. This veggie soba is NOT vegetarian.
Later I got a call from Hiroshi saying that he wanted to go try Kusamura.
So after twisting my arm and begging and pleading for me to go with him, I went. I love The Bush.

A favorite bowl...
Day 947:
When someone asks me to take them to eat my favorite bowl of ramen in Tokyo I always hesitate. Not because it's a difficult thing to do, but because I have so many favorite bowls. And although many of them are the best I've ever had, the amateur slurper still may not understand.
One bowl that is sure not to disappoint (although I wish they were still in Toritsukasei) is a bowl of shoyu ramen from Menya Shichisai.
And since we were in the neighborhood, a second bowl at Rokurinsha Tokyo (六厘舎TOKYO) was in order.
Sorry no pictures please! haha.
Believe it or not, this is the first time I've ever eaten Rokurinsha, aside from the take-home-pack.
I wish the Osaki honten was still open!
After all that, I still ate a bowl of GCS. (Like our new bowls?)
And had dinner with the president!
Okay, now I'm stuffed.

Sugoi ne!...
Day 849:
Motenashi Kuroki (饗 くろ㐂) in Kanda has been on the very top of my 'ramen shops I must go to' list for months now and today I finally had the time check it out.
I started with the Tokusei Shio Soba, which is a nice blend of chicken and five types of fish.
Along with the homemade noodles and its distinct impact, this shio ramen definitely represents a high quality slurp. You can tell a lot of love and care went into creating this bowl. The chashu even tasted like the salami I once ate in France.
As you can tell, I liked it. But hmm...I came all the way out here so I might as well try another bowl right?
I asked the master if I could slurp another bowl and after saying yes he just kept saying 'sugoi ne sugoi ne' while he was making it. In retrospect, I should have ordered the more popular Miso Ramen, but thinking at the time that it would be too filling for my second bowl, I decided to get the limited Tanmen instead.
The first sip of this Tanmen blew me away. It is really good. But the noodles sort of brought that excitement down. Perhaps it is the texture or perhaps it is the bits of whole wheat, regardless these noodles do not match this bowl.
But I still pounded it. And I got a few more 'sugoi ne' from the master. I contemplated a third bowl, but no I'm not that crazy.
A package?
A puzzle?
