Ramen Shop in Tokyo

Ah, here's a hot bowl of savory Japanese ramen. Sooo delicious! The meat is utterly tender, the broth is scrumptiously flavorful.

The proper way to eat Japanese ramen is to loudly slurp the noodles. The louder you slurp, the more you are enjoying your meal, so the custom goes. Slurping the noodles is supposed to help cool them down; they can be really hot otherwise.

If you're not used to slurping your food, it can get really tiring. I had to rest my cheeks several times.
