Dinner Time = Ramen

You can't come to Japan and not eat Ramen. We decided to continue the culinary introduction of Japanese food and so went to a Ramen restaurant for dinner. We had to use the vending machine outside the entrance to order our meals (pictures are soooo good!) and we were quickly seated inside. Test #2 on use of chopsticks...can you pick up noodles swimming in broth? Once again Mum and Dad did really well and enjoyed this soup type dish with pork, spring onion, noodles, dumplings and cabbage. Tasty!

By this time, we were getting quite good at using chopsticks.......... I think. At least we finished before midnight! During dinner, I was presented with a beautiful kimono the kids had bought while we were at the show. Then, I was given an early birthday/mother's day gift of a fan. The meal was good too. Very filling, and quite a large serve compared to the usual size you find in Japan but not as large as a standard meal in Australia.
