You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
会社の帰りにラーメン屋に寄っていくため、バック内を確認すると財布がないことに気が付いた。
After work, while in the elevator, I was searching my bag for my wallet to grab some ramen for dinner—only to realize I had left it at home.
ラーメン屋に行きたいのにサイフがないのは致命傷。都内とはいえ、現金がなければラーメンは食べられない。
Even though I was craving ramen, forgetting my wallet was a major mistake. Even in Tokyo’s metropolitan area, most ramen shops don’t accept cashless payments—you need cash.
もともと行こうとしていたところを諦め、キャッシュレス決済ができそうなお店に２店立ち寄るも、結果して現金しか使えず断念。
I gave up on going to the ramen shop I originally had in mind and tried two others that I thought might accept cashless payment. Unfortunately, both were cash-only, and I couldn’t go in.
結局、東京駅にある豚山に行ってきた。結果してそこまで並ばずに食べることができた。
In the end, I went to the Jiro-style ramen shop *Butayama* at Tokyo Station, where I was luckily able to pay cashless and didn’t even have to wait long.
もし、よけいなところへ行かずに真っ直ぐ豚山に向かっていればいつも通りの電車に乗れた。マジで今日はついてないと思った。それでも、おいしくラーメンが食べられたのでよしとしよう。こういう日もある。
If I had just gone straight to Butayama from the office, I could’ve caught my usual Shinkansen home.
Today just wasn’t my day. Still, at least I got to enjoy some good ramen. Everyone has days like this.
To be continued.
