Went to Ramen Daichi in Aomori City at night. Had their Aomori Daichi Black. It was a ramen with a niboshi-based broth and rich shoyu flavor. Eating the ramen, I wanted to exclaim, “Manzu Mett!” which is a colloquial phrase particular to the Tsugaru district meaning “very tasty.”

Deeply impressed with the flavor of the Miso Curry Gyunyu Ramen served at Sapporo Ramen Kura in Aomori City. Gyunyu (milk) was neutralizing the edge of miso and curry, making the soup milder and more flavorful.

Strolled around Ueno Park in Tokyo. Prayed at Ueno Tosho-gu (left) and took the photo of the statue of Saigo Takamori (right). Many people think Saigo was one of a few “real samurai.” Like him.

I am in Tokyo now. Chanced upon a Chinese restaurant near Ameya-yokocho Streets in Ueno. Ordered the Ramen and Chuka-don Set there. Eating the ramen, I realized that the flavor of ramen in Tokyo is distinctly different from that in Aomori.

Visited a fish market on the first basement floor of a complex called AUGA today. Enjoyed watching a variety of local marine products there. Just a minute walk from JR Aomori Station, AUGA also has a library and municipal office in it.
On the same floor as the fish market is a ramen shop called Kiden. Ordered their Hotate Shio Yasai Ramen (a salt-broth ramen with local scallops and vegetables). The taste was GOOD!
