Ramen Street



I had ramen noodles for dinner tonight. I went to 'Ramen Street' which is in the bowels of Tokyo station (it took me a while to find it). Basically there are 5 or 6 renowned ramen restaurants which have opened a branches on the so called 'Ramen Street'.

The restaurants are so popular that it's not uncommon to wait up to an hour to get seated -- and this is basically what amounts to fast food!

When I turned up at 8pm there were queues outside all of the restaurants. I picked the shortest one and joined it.

I didn't have to wait long before I was inside, seated and slurping away at a bowl of noodles and eating some gyoza!
