The ramen-man condition

After laboring at Hibiya/Yurakucho for 9 hours including 1 hour of rest between 0:30 and 9:30 p.m., I went to Shinbashi by walk in order to eat tsuke-men at Shinbashi Taishoken* (新橋大勝軒).
Listening to Dio's music with my portable player in order to mourn for him, I walked to it for about 10-20 minutes through the drizzle along JR Yamanote line.
By the way, I stayed up all night yesterday. So it was not easy but a little hard for me to walk around through the rain in the night after the vigil and 9 hours' laboring.



I heard some of staffs talking with each other in the language which was obviously Asian but not Japanese, Korean and Chinese.
I chose large-sized tsuke-men (400g, 750 yen) though they sarved also extra large-sized one. I did not choose it because it was 600g and too much to eat.

...And I would never come here expressly to eat this tsuke-men. f^_^;
It was not bad but I had already experienced the tastes of Tomita** (とみ田) (Matsudo) (see also here* for Japanese), Tonikaku (兎に角) (Matsudo) and Momiji (紅葉) (Kokubunji and Koriyama) whose tsuke-men were much better than Shinbashi Taishoken.



Fortunately, tonight I visited this shop without YR, who always complains to me whenever the shop or restaurant I took him was not good for him (in spite of the fact that I'm not a owner of that shop!)
One of conditions to be a ramenist is not to be afraid of drawing a blank.
