You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
今日は以前から気になっていたラーメン屋に行ってきた。歩いて20分ほどの距離にある二郎系ラーメンのお店である。
I finally had the chance to visit a ramen shop that I’ve been wanting to try. It’s located about 20 minutes away from my house and specializes in Jiro-style noodles, known for their large portions and richly flavored broth.
面接の練習の途中に立ち寄って、気になっていた辛いラーメンをオーダー。
While practicing my expected answers for the upcoming interview, I decided to stop by the ramen shop. I ordered a spicy ramen, opting for the least spicy option on the menu.
食べてみると、メッチャ辛い!一番辛みが少ないのを注文したにも関わらず、である。不幸なことに麺と野菜の両方を大盛にしてしまったので、残して帰りにくい。
To my surprise, it turned out to be quite hot. Additionally, I made the mistake of ordering an extra-large portion of both noodles and vegetables. It seemed like a challenge to finish it all, but I couldn’t bring myself to leave any food behind.
仕方ないので、なんとか全部食べきったが、自宅に着いてから腹痛になってしまった。
Despite my determination, I ended up with a stomach ache when I got home.
これなら家で大人しくしておけばよかったなと思う一方で、明日でなくてよかったと思った。明日行っていたら、翌日は出張で移動しなければならないし、夜は面接なので、それどころではなかった。
In hindsight, it would have been better if I had stayed at home all day. I consider myself fortunate that I don’t have any plans to visit the ramen shop tomorrow. Tomorrow is a business trip, followed by a job interview the next day. It wouldn’t have been ideal to face those commitments while feeling unwell after such a heavy meal.
To be continued.
