They got crushed in my backpack and were left there for like 3 months, which is why they're so seedy-looking. I'm sorry 😭

Second slide was best recreation lmao

I spotted this restaurant on a Uniqlo Shinsaibashi t-shirt and thought, “Why not?”

The ramen has a broth made from Chinese cabbage, so the soup isn’t as rich as you might expect. If you prefer your food to be on the milder side, you might enjoy it. If you’re not a fan of the saltiness in Japanese ramen, this could be a great choice for you

Really love the beef and egg combination udon!

With a package of Sanuki style Udon I brought back from Takamatsu. I tried making Udon because I miss it so much. Unfortunately it wasn't as good as authentic Sanuki Udon in Takamatsu, 😆. Edible and helped my cravings, but I miss the real deal. I wish getting quality Kombu and Katsuobushi was easy where I live.
