Athletes, celebrities, normal folk like me with tattoos will not get to experience the full Japan. Something has to be done about this. New Blog Post! Honorable Rat reviews Black Pepper Popcorn.

I'm disappointed that I didn't have more ramen during my trip, since it was so good (and cheap!) everywhere, but it wasn't always especially appetizing in the summer heat

It's on the right, and it has a black trim across the top and the words "From Kyoto" on it. Best ramen in town imho.

Now I don't have to go out to get good ramen...I can make it at home.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros >>FerretAfros: Oh, I can eat ramen anytime. Rain, snow, hot, humid, anytime. << For the most part I can, but the weather just made sushi and soba seem like more natural choices. There was one particularly hot day when we visited Nara (I also remember it being especially hot the day I went to Nara ~18 years ago) where all we wanted was to sit in the air conditioning and eat something cold. But other than that, we had plenty of nice hot food! : ) Restaurant Sakura looks good, but it always seemed out of place to me in the *American* Waterfront. It seems like the more generic-theme of Mysterious Island, Port Discovery, or Mermaid Lagoon would have been a more logical choice. Then again, I guess Americans aren't traditionally known for having especially great food

Originally Posted By vicenzo83 It seems like Tonkotsu is a favorite with a lot of foreigners, including me. I love it!!! FerretAfros: I know exactly what you are talking about. It gets super hot and humid here in Saitama. I do agree that there are other more sensible choices in that weather condition. I would definitely go with cold soba there. New Blog Post!

An honest review of the ever so popular Gyoza Sausage Bun. There's always a line for this snack.

Originally Posted By trekkeruss Ah, the infamous Gyoza Sausage Bun. It was famous as soon as the park opened in September of 2001 ...I remember seeing the line and thinking, "what?! I heard it was because it was featured on television? Anyway, since I had gone half way around the world to come to the grand opening of TDS, I didn't want to miss out on one of the "highlights." I recall waiting about an hour on maybe my third day in the park. Since I waited so long, I bought two, just in case it was really yummy. I was VERY disappointed. I didn't think it was good at all. I'm surprised it has remained popular to this day.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I agree with that sentiment about the gyoza bun. It was okay, but nothing special. Luckily we didn't have a long line, and it moved very quickly, so it didn't take us any time at all to get our food. It was a good snack to have to push back a proper meal, but no something I would trek across the park for And your observation about Japanese folks getting in line is pretty funny. I think it's because everybody is so neat and orderly that they feel compelled to follow the crowd, even if they don't know what it's for. Compared to the pushing and shoving that I often see in the US (particularly getting on and off of buses, trains, and planes) I would take that any day!
