I can relate with Murakumo...I'll feel the same way if I hangout with a guy who kinda spoiled what I recommend.

Pardon me for being ignorant, but I'm not familiar with this kinds of food vendor system. Is someone could explain what's the big deal?

Yeah, it'd make us kinda unappreciated.. Even though every person have their own preference, do kindly try the one recommended first..

While ramen is the topic, barikata or katame is the way for me..

Murakumo's saying that this joint's got really nice thick soup, full of flavour, and Hatsuyuki is getting the most boring plain thing you can get.

Like going to a fancy gourmet burger place famous for it's Deluxe SuperBurger and getting just a pattie in a bun. No salad, no cheese.

With a ramen vending ticket system, what you tend to buy is the base soup (soy, salt, pork broth etc) and extra toppings/sides. Here, it seems that you can customise how they're making the ramen - the thickness/firmness of the noodles, how much oil is used (more oil = more flavor) and probably the dilution of the soup.

A rich soup tends to imply either miso or tonkotsu ramen, which usually pairs with a firmer noodle.

Murakumo is aghast the Hatsuyuki's not taking advantage of the cornucopia being offered to her, that's all.

Reading this made me want to eat ramen all of sudden.

In other words: it's like inviting someone out for a sumptuous meal that you've recommended, only for them to order a glass of water and maybe a piece of dry toast.

I still can see Hatsuyuki not being invited or again in the future... which was probably her plan, that hikikomori.

"The short one wants white toast. Dry. With nothing on it."

"Hatsuyuki!"

"And the other one wants four whole fried chickens and a Coke."

"And Akagi! From the naval base!"

"The naval base? Shit. They still owe you money, fool."

I wish Ido would use Murakumo more.

I wish everyone would use Murakumo more. Especially the Samekumo variant.
