Tokyo · Falling in Love with · Hokkaido (Twelve)
It's almost noon when I woke up the next day, the sky is a beautiful azure blue, does it feel like a new Hideo Suzuki anime?
I randomly came across a soba shop downstairs and ordered a kid's set of soba noodles, it's really delicious!
Today I mainly explored Shinjuku, does this iconic JR railway bridge feel familiar to you?
Well, perhaps we're progressing too quickly, Shinjuku gave me the impression that it wasn't as cutting-edge as I imagined, and I didn't see many truly extraordinary people, it felt like many of our city's pedestrian streets – perhaps Shinjuku is the prototype of those pedestrian streets, in the context of cultural fusion, people have become increasingly similar. However, Shinjuku is definitely 'low-key', and that doesn't mean it's negative, because 'low-key' is also a culture, which is why it's so popular with young people.
Tired from walking around, I found Ichiran Ramen, which has its headquarters in Fukuoka. I've been to Fukuoka before, but I haven't eaten at Ichiran there, but I did eat Ichiran once in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. That branch is also located in a basement. The iconic Ichiran ramen space, combined with being located in a basement, gave me a feeling of prison. The taste? It's okay, it's better than Ichiran, but considering the price, Ichiran's value for money is low.
Tired from walking around, I found a café that looks like a small store and sat down to take a break. It was getting dark when I discovered a place with lots of shadows, and inside were only a few tables for two or three people. The owner and the waiters were all young people, and many office workers came here to drink and chat. It was very noisy, but business was good. After walking around, I chose a yakiniku restaurant.
It's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, the taste is good.
The portion is too small, I ordered another one, but it was still not enough. Seriously!
