There`s an overwhelming sense of dejavu as i write this, sitting in the same hotel i stayed in 3 years ago when i moved to Japan … only this time, it`s the end of the journey.
I stayed in this hotel for near on 10 months before i was made a local employee and before i had a gaijin card, working visa etc … all the stuff you need to rent an apartment.
This time round the stay is only 3 days and having copious amounts of points from my semi permanent status a few years ago … i am able to cash in and use them so it`s free.
Karaoke happens in 2 main types of places in Japan, the Karaoke Box and the Snack Bar …. i prefer the Snack myself, they’re always full of great characters and never a dull moment.
So when i saw this diagram via Tokyo Mango on the weekend i did have to laugh at the accuracy of it all.
Japans’ and indeed my own love of Alcohol often results in Karaoke.
I was out late in Harajuku the other night and happened to be a little peckish, if would be fair to say it probably had a little something to do with a belly full of beer.
Late night food for me in Japan usually leads to 1 thing …. Ramen.
The usual masses of people were absent from Jangara Ramen so there was no trouble getting a seat right away.
Scanning the menu i noticed a spicy miso ramen i hadn’t seen before, ’nuff said …. and YES, it was every bis as spicy as it looks!
Jangara Ramen has 6 shops around Tokyo so if you love your Ramen i suggest you give this place a go.
