Feeling rougher than usual this morning I decided to take the day off and catch up on a bit of rest, after breakfast of course. Waking up for a second time at about half two in the afternoon, I venture out on a search for food. Easily I could have went to Matsuya or McDonalds, but I didn’t feel like a curry or a burger.<\/p>\n
Instead I took a walk towards Umeda where under a railway bridge was a very small udon<\/a> place. From the outside it was really noisy with trains going by every ten seconds or so, traffic blaring (as it was also a busy crossroad), and the very common sound of ambulance and paramedic sirens. I figured that inside wouldn’t be quiet due to these factors but I was shocked to discover how wrong I was.<\/p>\n When I closed the door everything seemed to go quiet, the only real breaking point to the silence was when the woman behind the counter greeted me “\u3044\u3089\u3063\u3057\u3083\u3044\u307e\u305b”. I ordered \u8089\u3046\u3069\u3093<\/a> (niku udon, beef udon) from the vending machine, handed my ticket to the cashier and took a seat, stopping on the way to pick up a glass for some water. To give you an idea of how small the place was, I was the only customer and was taking up 10% of the occupancy.<\/p>\n
