An Update...Part 3...and a promise for blogging consistency

Firstly, lets get things straight...(ahem!)....this blog has suffered from a lack of care recently....

So, again here is another update and a promise to all of you blog-readers wherever and whoever you may be....I promise to try and keep my blog interesting and up to date with a post at least once a week.....


A few weeks ago, myself and Rie tracked down Ichi-Ran ramen near Ueno station. My friends Brad and Evan had told me in the past how delicious the Kyushu based noodle shop were. Ichi-ran are famous for Tonkotsu Ramen (pork ramen) and it did not disappoint. You can choose the softness of your noodle, how spicy you'd like the soup, what size you'd like your onion and how much garlic and oil you'd prefer.

Rie went super spicy, due to her love of all things hot, whereas I was more conservative and went for more oil, as I find this helps the flavour....


Myself and Rie also spent a Sunday afternoon in Odaiba, which was nice.


Here is a typical photo of Karaoke....when Brad returned to Japan, a few weeks ago for his wedding. We met up in Asakusa, had lots of beer and Karaoke...much fun was had by all!!!

By 'consistency' did you mean you promise to post at least once a decade!? :D Not that I'm casting aspersions, since my own sites are currently in semi-retirement! ;)

Anyway,I was just hopping by on my to somewhere else & thought I'd leave you a quick hello. Speak soon brother. Love JX
