but greasy. Japan may have one of the healthiest cuisines on the planet but I just found an exception. I went walking up Edo-dori looking for late night food places. McDonald's... save for last resort. MOS Burger... didn't want to talk that far to the only one I've seen. Yoshinoya... closing. Some other places... not even sure what was on the menu. Oh hey, a ramen place. Shoutout to mlc: this one used hiragana. Also something I'd heard but forgotten about: a machine where you buy tickets to present to the cook, to minimize that horrible horrible human interaction. I, of course, broke the system, not knowing about it.
So what'd I get? Some okay cooked-from-frozen gyoza, and some ramen with a couple thin slices of pork, a hard boiled egg, and very greasy miso. Is that a hair in my soup? No, it's just the light absorbed by the edge of a couple of fat globules. It occurred to me I haven't actually had much green vegetables, apart from a few small plates of sunomono, and especially after this meal I'm ready to eat a head of lettuce, raw.
But the supermarket I've seen is far away. But 7-11 had trays of pickled cabbage. So I got one and my body feels a bit better. I also got a bottle of tea. I have black tea less often than I try alcohol, so I'm not even sure what it tastes like, but I think this tea is green. Just really strong green tea, probably not from your high quality leaves. The soba shop earlier was so much better.
