昨日の全身脱毛の後、お約束の豚山でのラーメン。
Yesterday, after my treatment, I headed straight to my favorite ramen shop, Butayama, for some Jiro-style ramen, just as I’d planned.
なんとつけ麺がスタートしていたので、迷わずポチッと。大ラーメンにするかは迷い、結局、いつもと同じ小ラーメンで。というのも、施術前だったら大でもよかったけど、すでに16時を回っていたし、その後の作業もあるので控えた。
Since they’d started their seasonal tsukemen (dipping noodles), I chose it without hesitation. I briefly wondered if I should order extra noodles, but in the end, I stuck with the regular size, as usual. Honestly, before the treatment, I would have definitely gone for the extra noodles. However, it was already past 4 PM, and I still had tasks to do after ramen, so I passed on the larger portion.
食べてみて思う。やっぱりつけ麺はうまい。何より先に野菜を食べられるのがいい。麺をひっくり返したりせずとも、スープにつけて食べられるし、唐辛子などの薬味を楽しめるので、野菜もとてもおいしい。
After finishing my meal, a few thoughts came to mind. Their tsukemen is awesome! More than anything, the best part for me is how easy it is to eat the vegetables first. Unlike regular ramen where you have to mix everything around, with tsukemen, you can just dip the vegetables in the soup and add seasonings like chili and black pepper.
そして、野菜を食べている間は、麺が伸びないのもGood!!ゆっくり自分のペースで野菜を食べた後、麺にありつくことができる。とても幸せな時間。これなら大つけ麺にすればよかったかなと。
Also, while I’m enjoying the vegetables, the noodles don’t get soggy because they’re separate from the soup. I could eat the vegetables at my own pace and then savor the noodles afterward. Eating the noodles after finishing the vegetables is truly my happy hour. It made me think I really should have ordered the tsukemen with extra noodles after all.
そして、帰りの新幹線では、めぐりズムを使ってしっかり食休み。目を温めることができるせいか、寝落ちし、しっかり休めたので、夕方の作業も眠くならずに対応できた。いい１日でした。
On my way home, I took a nap with a hot eye mask. The eye mask helped me fall asleep, which meant I was able to concentrate fully on my tasks in the evening. All in all, it was a good day.
To be continued.
