NERIMA: Yasubei for some Tsukemen (dipping noodles).... plus beer at 1:30am

Whats opens open at 1:30am? Yup... ramen.







My pilot friend usually gets the most expensive ramen... a bit too heavy for me.

I go with the standard tsukemen.




Rolling near 2am this place was dead silent on a weekday... But during the day its always super busy.  A good choice if you are hungry for late night ramen.

NERIMA: Fuku-chan Tonkontsu Ramen and Chuka-Soba... friendly bowl of ramen and gyoza 690yen :)


Saturday lunch specials... all kinds of combos for only 690yen.


Bunch of free toppings for your noodles.



I went for the Tonkotsu Ramen with gyoza set.

This tasted really nice... 






Gyoza was veggie.

GAIENMAE: Sakura Sakura Izakaya finally got a pic of all the 1,000 yen fish lunch selections!

I never know what the fish I order at sushi or fish restaurants look like but at Sakura Sakura you can pick which one you like!  Have it as sashimi, salt baked or boiled in seasoning... but better yet half and half!


The lone chef.

We arrived at 11:35 and by 11:45am this place was packed! 1 Chef trying to prepare over 10 fish.


Extremely popular with salary men and you can get extra rice for free too.

NISHI AZABU: Azabu Ramen... very boring... later to find its super lowly ranked. PASS!

In the Nishi Azabu area and had a craving for Ramen...



When confused pic the most top left button... always the shops most recommended.


Free garlic topping.


One bite... and I was bored.  This is definitely in business due to people closing out the night over a super late bowl of ramen.  





Overall nothing much to say... if you are bored then give it a try but its just so boring.

And of course in the wealthy neighborhood of Nishi Azabu you spot a Ferrari 458!
