Until you get the bill.
True, but you only live once! When my buddy and I went to Kyoto a couple of years back we stayed at a really nice ryokan as well. It was mad expensive but I can honestly say it was one of the most memorable places I've ever had the pleasure of staying, in Japan or any where else for that matter.

You are correct on both counts.

Thank you very much. The weather was a bit dreary today but I was able to do a little hanami (cherry blossom viewing). My first time seeing the cherry blossoms in full bloom. It was glorious! Incredibly beautiful to behold. I can see how the sight has inspired so many of the Japanese throughout the ages.

^ I couldn't see any ramen because of all that wonderful chashu.
The noodles were of the hosomen (thin noodle) variety...very thin in fact...I hadn't touched the bowl yet so that's why you can't see the noodles underneath.

Yeah the noodles were underneath the toppings. The bowl wasn't so much shallow as it was wide-rimmed. It wasn't a very large bowl of noodles but it was pretty tasty nonetheless. I had a side of gyoza that I forgot to take a picture of. ^_^
The total length of my trip is 2 weeks so I still got some time left. Still in Tokyo at the moment.

Awwww....
Sorry, man!
To make it up to you here are a few of pics from my lunch yesterday at Maisen in Omotesando. It's the second most famous tonkatsu-ya in Tokyo. This, their flagship store, occupies an old sento (public bath house).
I had the rosu katsu teishoku (loin cutlet set meal)
More important than the food is the fact that I actually met our fellow board member, EstherM, to have this meal together. It was the first time I've ever met anyone from this message board despite my years of posting here.
It was her idea to have lunch here, in fact. It was great meeting her. She's a very cool & funny person, of which of I had little doubt.
Thanks, Esther!
