Sunshine City in the morning

After some minor business from the morning in Ikebukuro (池袋), I visited Yasubee (やすべえ) there.
I was very tired and sleepy because I had to go there without sleep at all last night.

Because it was Saturday today and maybe because it was fine and rather warm for winter, there were a lot of passengers there.
I had never seen such a scene because I have scarcely ever come to Ikebukuro in the day but often in the evening.

I have visited other branches (Shinjuku, Shibuya, Suidou-bashi, Akihabara) of Yasubee but this was the first time for me to visit Yasubee Ikebukuro.
There were still crowded customers waiting in line at Yasubee Ikebukuro, too when I came to this shop even at about 2 p.m.
But this shop had a steady flow of customers (客の回転がいい) because of many (about 8 or 9) staffs for this tiny shop therefore about 15 persons was waiting before me but I was waiting only about for 10 minutes.

I did not choose extralarge-sized (550g) but large-sized tsuke-men (440g, 720 yen), which looked smaller than other branches.
I like its tsuke-men but today's soup tasted a little salty-sweet and was not cooked in good stock, I guessed.


Large-sized tsuke-men

Oh... I feel like eating more better tsuke-men like Momiji (紅葉) or Tonikaku (兎に角)...

And I bought hayauri Weekly Shonen Jump (週刊少年ジャンプ) vol. 10. at a certain book store in Ikebukuro.

It was about 3:30 p.m. when I got to my room.
And I fell asleep and was sleeping heavily between 4 and 8 p.m.

Zusammenfassung von heute (today's summary)
  • Nach einem kleinen Geschäft habe ich Tsuke-men ungefähr um 14 Uhr bei Yasubee, Ikebukuro gegessen.
  • Ich möchte Yasubees Tsuke-men, aber heute war das nicht lecker.
  • In Ikebukuro gab es viele Menschen, weil heute es Samstag war und vielleicht weil es warmer für den Winter.
