Osaka and Kumamoto

Dancing comp neat ATC hall where the Madoka exhibition was held.

Was heading to Mitsuboshi seimenjou for noukou ramen in Osaka when I came across this new hakata ramen place nearby.

Not bad. I've stopped trying to compare every tonkotsu ramen place with my two favourites. As long as it tastes decent I'm happy.

Wow at the price of Shining Force 3 premium disk. Radiant Silvergun also costs quiet a bit.

Retro game shop in Den Den town. Will post about my purchases latr.

Wao playing Oni at Taito Nipponbashi. Watching him destroy 20000BP players so easily is as if he's playing a different game.

Yay Kumamoto! My favourite town in Japan. You can find touristy pictures from my trip last year by searching my blog.

Best rated Kumamoto ramen according to tabelog.

I found the garlic taste way too strong. Should have ordered ramen with egg.

 Mozu!

 I think it was called Kinryu. Been here before and it was ok. Barikata doesn't feel kata at all.

Karaage set at Yayoikan which is open 24/7.

Wtf is the Akuma Homura shirt only available in ladies sizes?

Madoka Magica exhibition at ATC Hall Part 1

So kawaiii~~~. Why the f*** didn't I ask for a two shot?

I only found out about this two weeks before I left  and my original plan was to go Kagoshima but bframe recommended I go.

I loved the series but I'm not a fan of what they did in the 3rd movie.

One hour queue for goods.

This is only the early crowd. Its gets sardined packed after lunch.

I am so getting this.

No. What happened to my Houra-chan?!

Japan Day 7: Yokkaichi

As always stopping at Naoya for Yabaton. I think the portion for the teppan miso katsu has gotten smaller but the sample size is too small.

Train view on way to Yokkaichi.

I remember reading that most agriculture in Japan are small scale and you can see plenty of rice fielda along the train tracks.

View from outside hotel room.

Went out with bframe and two of his colleagues and a blast except the parts where my Japanese wasn't good enough to follow the conversation. I'm so far away from where I bframe's level.

Was surprised Yokkaichi had a kyabakura maid cafe and the uber hot Kobe girl is back at the gundam bar. She is absolutely smoking in that uniform.

Thanks to bframe and his colleagues for an unforgettable time. ☺

Rest of first week in Tokyo

Was in Ikebukuro and decided to give Muteki another go.

As before a long queue.

When I had it the first time, I found it lacking.

Char siu is good but that's it. Overatted.

Two cute girls called Hachimitsu singing in Akiba. Had to wait to buy their CD but my stomach was rumbling.

Decided to try Furyu in Akihaba. Normal charsiu is 750円 and extra charsiu 200円. The best part is you can have kaedama aka extra ramen for FREE! This is godsend for students. Order the cheapest ramen for the free double kaedama. Not bad.

Unfortunately Hachimitsu were gone after my dinner. ：（
