You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
昨日の部長への報告後、東京駅でラーメンを食べてきた。二郎系ラーメンを食べようと思っていたけど、いつも以上に並んでいたため、諦めて九州ラーメンにチャレンジ。
After reporting to the APAC manager yesterday, I went to Tokyo Station and was craving Jiro Ramen, which boasts a broth simmered with pork belly, pork back fat, and vegetables for an extended period. Unfortunately, the line for the shop was longer than usual, so I opted for Tonkotsu ramen instead.
結果して失敗。おいしかったけど、東京駅で食べるものではない。これなら地元でも十分食べられる。そんなこんな、あまりスッキリしないラーメンだった。
However, it turned out to be a disappointment. While I liked it, I felt it was similar to the kind of noodles I could get at a ramen shop back home. That left me feeling unsatisfied.
なので、今日は、いつも行っているラーメン屋に行ってきた。食べなれているせいか、とても大満足。
Later that night, I visited my favorite ramen shop, and it fulfilled my craving completely. I’ve been accustomed to their flavors, and it provided me with the satisfaction I was seeking.
強いて言えば、つけ麺が食べたいけど、やってないので仕方ない。
I’m hoping to try their dipping noodles soon, but I’ll probably have to wait until next summer for that opportunity to arise again.
To be continued.
