I had the Matsudai Sunset Tonkotsu today.
And the Shoyu Triple Yuzu Ramen yesterday (the closest that I have come to finding a match for my favourite ever ramen, the Afuri Yuzu Shoyu Ramen).

Oh, the one next to the Japanese Sword Museum!
I knew it felt familiar!

Okay, I have to know. Which garden was this? I thought it might be Kiyosumi but I don't think the angle on the Sky Tree is right.

Kieran went with the Shoyu, which is the not spicy one.

Oh, I love that idea. Also, love seeing T. Kingfisher in there. Paladin's Grace and What Moves the Dead are both so good, in very different ways.

Ken Campbell once used a medium to contact the ghost of Laurence Olivier. He asked the spirit who was the greatest actor in the world right now, and received the answer “Jackie Chan”. So Campbell rented as much Chan on VHS as possible and watched the lot. “And do you know, the man was RIGHT!”

Reminds me of a mate being at a Britwres show. Doug Williams was on the card and as soon as Doug is out, some other fan starts chanting "Doug stole my wife. He's a home wrecker."

Mate, if that's true then why are you paying Doug money?
