First Class Service

After all that work Minika and I had lunch in town. Ramen is very popular in Japan and is especially good on a cold day. Ramen is a huge bowl of noodles, mixed with a meat based broth topped with meat and vegetables. That’s the very basic description as you can get lots of different kinds.

To show your appreciation for this delicious food you are supposed to eat ramen very noisily making lots of slurping noises. I haven’t quite got this down yet but I’m practicing!

One thing that always amazes me about this country is the level of service you receive and their attention to detail. I have never seen this in a restaurant before but it’s just one example of how far their service goes. Because there is a lot of broth in a ramen bowl, those with long hair might find eating it tricky so they GIVE OUT FREE HAIR BANDS at the restaurant!

I am going to miss service like this when I leave Japan!
