We went out on the town Thursday night before the convention - going to Hakata Ippudo in the East Village for some excellent ramen, and then to a delicious italian pastry shop who's name I can never remember. You just wander the East Village and find it by the delightful smell and the huge line of people out the door. We had 8 people, so it was wonderfully balanced and just the right size. I had a great time! (This is Jeff Rutzky and Polly Verity)

For the second time in my life! How did I get through college having consumed only a single bag of Ramen? Reviewed here.

Ah the joys of cheap ramen in Japan! We had this for dinner a couple of nights. There is a packet of powdered soup, "beef" flavouring and a packet with dehydrated mystery meat, green onions, and some other dehydrated veggies.

ラストデー 今年の前半も今日で最後。 はやいなー ってことで源泉税をしはらいに税務署へ。 窓口の人が多かったな この時期、他になにかあんのかな？ 帰りにラーメン食って帰宅 案の定、腹が痛くなった そういや、運動不足解消のために腹筋始めた 嫌いな筋トレ 仰向けに手を伸ばして寝て、足と手がくっつくように上げる 体かたいから、絶対くっつかないけど。 １日10回もやれば満足です

Honestly the best ramen I've ever had. It had duck in it but I don't remember what else. Yummy ramen, yummy beer, tired girl. Happy to be heading home but heartbroken to be leaving. Taken by Christoph

Just nearby from here, I had my noodle on the street side at late night in Kyoto. Best noodle (ramen) ever. Also just for a note for myself, I remember there is a bridge nearby across the street, there are two gaijin sitting down enjoying the night watching the cars, I think that's a very cool scene. I took photos of them, but too blurry. A pity.
