From Vimby.com - Video in My Backyard is Luke from Giant Robot SF. Can you say all this like Luke? This video is a lot of fun, and they should do one in LA and NYC. After the first minute, I wondered what Luke would say, but he nailed it. Good job, Luke in handling that mic.

Ramen. In one moment, anyone would know that this one spot is better than what you can get in America. The noodles are thick for ramen, the soup isn’t the typical USA thick and murky Tonkotsu that seems to fool everyone into thinking Tampopo woman made it, and everything in it, was done just right. It’s at the spot photographed below in Jyugaoka area of Tokyo. One of many great spots. I ordered the big one.950 yen. That’s my friend Kohei who ordered a different one that had cabbage in it.

That’s Junko hiding in the shadow.Check out that naan. I swear it’s gigantic sized. Maybe the length from my elbow to finger tips. Yes, this was one of the best meals.

The meal starts off with vegetables and more, and with the leftover broth you can choose rice or noodles. We opted for noodles.

Had dinner with the creator and artist of Black Rock Shooter - Huke. He doesn't make himself available to the public, hence the mosaic. He went from a fan to a budding pro. We had dinner as part of a year end chill out celebration. It seems like everyone does this. He's getting ready for Komiket which is in a few days where he sells a ton of his new book. We ate at an awesome Chinese place in...
