food

Interesting in terms of food is a comparison between what my favourite japanese dish is now and was four years earlier (when i lived in japan for one year as a student). back than it ought to have been ramen, a kind of noodle soup. i am sure ill come up with a picture one of these days. back than i spend most of my time in takadanobaba where a diversity of shops provided my noodle demands.

nowadays, i tend to struggle, recently i have replied to a question, i'd be favouring a good old cutlet. yeah, he is german, you might say. but no, having been through universal japanese assimilation processes the typical tonkatsu dish looks like above. merged with traditional tempura, the meal is ready to be eaten with chopsticks only. at this shop at lunch time you have free rice and soup refill for all in all 900 yen (6,50 euro). very delicious. don't forget that in japan free water or warm tea is served and refilled obligatory, as well.
