Seven Eleven Mystery
So I'm heading to @Tokyo soon, and I've got this thing about finding the most bizarre convenience store snacks. I've heard legends about this specific Seven Eleven, the Nishishinjuku 5-chome Kita one… more

Man, Toyama's a tough one for ramen if you're avoiding the tourist traps. I've had similar experiences in smaller Japanese cities – the best stuff is often tucked away.
