A day of Ramen and Curry

The plan today was to take some trips to museums, but it’s not the sort of stuff that you’d imagine. It’s about our trip to eat Ramen in Shin-Yokohama and dinner at the Curry Museum at the Kannai area.

In the Shin-Yokohama area, there were surprisingly a lot of people there. I mean there was a short line going in when I went inside the place. The lines were pretty long to get something to eat though. I mean we had to wait 30 minutes just to get ramen that we’re probably going to finish in less than half the wait time. YSki picked the place to eat. She picked the Okayama styled ramen, which I could tell you wasn’t the best ramen that I’ve had before. It was a bit expensive because you had to pay to go in and then you had to pay for them ramen itself too. So everyone who goes in gets hit with a double whammy of charges. Going to the station at Shin-Yokohama was the first time that I missed my exit. I mean it was weird because both of us didn’t realize that we missed the station. We missed it by 3 stations and it’s not my fault since I was talking on the phone on the train… when I wasn’t supposed to and that caused me to not pay attention to where we were so we missed it. It was weird though because we didn’t even realize it too. She was very hungry at this point and was about to pass out. I think it was because I was working her too much and all the walking that we did was a bit over the top for her.

As we were leaving, there was a line all the way down the block. I mean it was extremely shocking. I didn’t know it was that famous or even that popular, but I was totally wrong. We had Okayama styled ramen. I didn’t like it one bit. It wasn’t the best tasting ramen that I’ve had in Japan or at all.

There were a ton of people who had KTM shirts. I wasn’t able to figure out where they had gotten them, but everyone was decked out in them. And the other thing that I noticed was the yellow Yuzu bag. I mean like everyone had it.

We sat and had come tea at Caffe Veloce. It was nice and peaceful. I had melonpan for the first time.

We took a walk today, a rather long one too to get from place to place.

The curry museum was completely the opposite with having no one inside. I mean the wait for a table was non-existent. I mean we were able to sit down right away and order and even get our food right away too. We went to an awesome tasting place. It was Yaki Curry, and it was some of the best curry I’ve had in my life.

There was a huge earthquake today around 4:30pm today. I mean it was quite big. I’m checking the news now and it says it’s about a 6 on the Richter scale. There wasn’t any damage to my place, fortunately, but I did lose of lot of shampoo because my roomie forgot to shut the cap and it had spilt all over the bath tub during the rumble. I was able to finish shopping and all, so it was all good. I bought a lot of stuff today too, about $63 worth of stuff.

On the way home, there was a little matsuri near Hongodai central park. It was nice even though we came when it was just completed.
