Fried Chicken and Sushi 179 and 180

DateThursday, December 22, 2011 at 5:17AM

My first taste of Japanese ramen was truly divine!  I couldn't believe something so delicious was also so easily affordable.  This series of strips really is based on truth.  I enjoyed going to a small ramen shop in Shimamoto owned by my student's father.  He was a very energetic man that always made me feel welcome. I could literally walk there in three minutes.  Dangerous, I know!  I didn't go there nearly as often as I should have.  For Karl, this is going to be a new hang out spot so expect to see him back at the ramen shop again in the future!

Fried Chicken and Sushi 178 Going out for Ramen

DateThursday, December 15, 2011 at 12:00PM

I really didn't know much about ramen when I moved to Japan.  It was just the cheap meal you buy at the grocery store, fourty eight packs for a dollar!  I remember being so amazed by the taste of actual authentic ramen that it's almost impossible for me to eat any instant brands anymore.
