moca is back in Japan!!! and say hello to Rob!

They wanted ramen so I took them to one of my favorite shops.

Soranoiro is outstanding!

Thanks for the free dessert!

After a little AKB R&R, we made it to Ameyoko for 48 more minutes of fun.

Then moca wanted more ramen.

Menya Musashi Bukou (麺屋武蔵武骨)

This is definitely not the moca I remember.

Thanks to Rob for changing her. haha.

The rest of the night was filled with shrimp...

Fat perverts turned skinny elvissises...

And stupid 100 year anniversary notifications 88 years from now.

At least the ramen is still good.

bye moca!

Comp check...

Day 1175:

On my way to work I ate lunch at the second best ramen shop in Shindaita.

haha, just speaking the truth!

Thanks Kenji-san!!

Yup, we're all friends in this hood.

Ramen dreams of sushi...

Day 1174:

I had a dream of making a new ramen and this is what I made when I woke up.

Then the Ramen Dreams maker himself, Michael McAteer, showed up and we partied like we always do.

Gen Sushi style!

Good to see you Mike!

Hopefully I'll see you soon on your side of the world.

Miso chashuuuu...

Day 1173:

I dare you to go here.

Shinkyotei.

And order the Miso Chashu.

Just do it.

You won't regret it. And if you do, the master will put you in a chokehold.

Feeling the pressure...

Day 1172:

Technology...oh sweet technology. Jiraigen Boss asked me if I wanted to check out some pressure cookers with him and how could I say no.

Crazy. Crazy f**king cool.

Tori Paitan in 20 min? Holy $h!t!

This place is heaven...ramen heaven.

Thank you so much.

Very very much!...for releasing the pressure.

This day was extremely amazing. Extremely. I'll let you know why in the future...
