This is the first time to write on this blog the story that I ate ramen there because we had never visited this shop at least in the last 6 months or more.
I chose large-sized tsuke-men (中盛り) (800 yen)
Its tsuke-men was not bad but was not able to satisfy me because I have eaten better tsuke-men, for example Tonikaku (兎に角) (Matsudo) or Kouyou (紅葉) (Kokubunji), than it.
Today it was a little warm.
Spring has come day by day.
The wind smelled vernal.
But I hate spring.
Ramen-Satan-kun (this is the revenge for calling me a Valkyrie ;-),
ReplyDeletehow are you doing? Don't hate spring please! I'd love to have spring here but it's still winter with snow again today...
Don't be sad, keep your head up high and don't care about what the others think about you. That's not important.
Take care and look forward to hanami partys!
Anneke san, thank you for your kindness. It is hard for me to explain why I hate or do not like spring. Simply out, I have no good memories on spring and do not want to see people who looks happy or euphoric. (As you know spring is the season for starting something in Japan so there are a lot of hopeful people on spring.) And on every spring I have hay fever as well as Rick (laugh.)
ReplyDelete> this is the revenge for calling me a Valkyrie
Some of the Japanese, at least Japanese video-game or anime fans including myself, regard "valkyrie" as a powerful, tall and beautiful lady fighter with blond or brown hair as you see pictures on the page of Wikipedia's "Valkyrie." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valkyrie) I do not mean nasty.
> don't care about what the others think about you.
Rick said so to me too, though more bitterly than you. But I am not grown so that I cannot ignore what others think about myself and a nasty nickname they give me behind my back.
Sorry, I forgot to comment on the nickname from you to myself. "Ramen satan" is not a bad but "evil" name (laugh, and "evil" means often great or excellent for heavy metal fans!) And I know who is the first nasty man to call me in Japanese "ramen daimaoh" (ラーメン大魔王; in English or German "ramen satan") but as a ramen fan I like a non-evil nickname more. Anyway I have to emphasize that I have not eaten ramen so much to be called "ramen satan"! I am just one of ramen fans!
ReplyDeleteはい、わかりました！
ReplyDeleteI never thought that it's a bad name. It emphasizes your love for heavy metal and ramen. Kind of cool...
Anneke san, thank you for your understanding. But do I love ramen so much...? My friends who appears often on this blog love it as much as I (, I think.)
