And I really do eat soup like this...setting aside various ingredients to be enjoyed later, combining them, eating them in a deliberate order. So joyful!Alex Zorachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335878680429494039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516171423954184083.post-7837631394788505972011-08-31T14:31:55.152-04:002011-08-31T14:31:55.152-04:00Steve, that's a nice story!

Even ordinary things like cucumbers and potatoes, Japan has the very elegant versions of them! <br /><br />It's probably an Asian thing that hotel restaurants are much more expensive than other restaurants :DGingkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717840609096741544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516171423954184083.post-80854026520309657172011-08-31T14:29:55.122-04:002011-08-31T14:29:55.122-04:00Marlena, I love potatoes too!

And it's so amicable. I love it in its most forms, whatever cultivar it is, however it's cooked!Gingkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717840609096741544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516171423954184083.post-72850868633739772292011-08-31T14:26:17.180-04:002011-08-31T14:26:17.180-04:00CloudMountain, Thanks for the recommendations!

I read on IMDB page of Ramen Girl someone says it's so cool to finally have an Asian movie which is not about marshal arts or weird gangsters. I totally agree! Wish to see more movies about noodles, teas, or subtle culture things!Gingkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717840609096741544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516171423954184083.post-16003808660484773372011-08-31T13:02:13.053-04:002011-08-31T13:02:13.053-04:00Ginko,

I arrived at the museum early and had some time before my appointment, so I decided to have a bite to eat and looked around for a restaurant when I spotted the Park Hotel across the way.<br /><br />In the hotel restaurant, I scanned the menu and noticed the day's special: a bowl of noodles for about thirty-five American dollars! Intrigued, I ordered a bowl and waited. To my surprise, it was ramen, a Chinese-style, big bowl of noodles chock full of everything that is great, and good, and expensive.<br /><br />Immediately, Tampopo came to mind and I began nudging the meats, vegetable, and mushrooms down into the broth,only to dredge them up one by one like treasures from the bottom of the ocean. Delicious!<br /><br />Steve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516171423954184083.post-72826757570812785402011-08-27T15:32:11.619-04:002011-08-27T15:32:11.619-04:00I'm with you.

These things connect us to our ancestors, it is an affirmation of from whom and where we have come. An affirmation of life.Marlenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01075020988377774265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516171423954184083.post-19416057970322182342011-08-26T05:02:53.948-04:002011-08-26T05:02:53.948-04:00If you enjoy noodle movies watch Ramen Girl. :)If you enjoy noodle movies watch Ramen Girl. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11801234128348743930noreply@blogger.com
