17th oct
went to rikkyo to attend a talk by the zara president during roy's zemi. was late because i went to the wrong classroom twice. >:( it was worth it because the zara's president is a frenchman, and he was very funny. applied for work the next day. but since i talked to the person before sending my application, i pretty much know that i won't get the job cos my japanese still sucks and i can't use keigo.
in the evening, the actual plan was to go jackson's hole but after seeing a tv ad of menya musashi on their latest limited autumn ramen made using persimmon peels, me and stella couldn't resist the temptation and went searching for it.


it's pretty near beams and yama-chan and we found it soon enough

last time when i went with my sister and denzyl we didn't get to take the shopfront, but here it is :D




we ordered the time-limited offers of course. this one features a huge square-wanton with spicy meat wrapped inside. i tasted the spicy tofu which we used to eat with plain white porridge. stella added an onsen egg.

and i ordered that autumn tsuke-men with persimmon peels and mashed mushroom sauce to dip your ramen. it was sooooooooooooooooo yummy.

this time i managed to catch the chef in action! (different from the one frank caught earlier on though)

outside, there was some kind of procession going on too

feels like the kind that stops outside your shop to collect angpows

we then stopped at baskin robbins for their halloween ice cream (which stella ate until she was damn stuffed)

and we listened to the street singers.

he's cute and he sings well. apparently he appeared in some bangumi. now doing publicity?


halfway a police came over to talk to them and it seems that the 'drummer' might be paying him!!

there's also people buying their cds (which looks self-burnt)

back home, we decided to have a little nomikai and i went to drink my kodomo no nomimono (kid's beer) - which is actually quite delicious!

and that night i had a terrible stomach upset and almost puked... (-_-`)
