The white soy sauce ramen broth looks light, but it has a lot of depth and doesn’t taste overly salty. Once the noodles soak up the broth, they go down really smoothly.
It was my first time trying Hakata’s specialty gurukawa, and the chicken skin was grilled crispy on the outside and pleasantly chewy inside. The more you chew, the more flavorful it gets, and it pairs really well with the ramen. If you’re around Tenjin, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. The white soy sauce ramen with their signature chicken skin skewers is a combo that makes me want to come back again.

Kinoko no Yama
Kinoko no Yama, a long-selling product that represents Meiji Co., Ltd. (hereafter, Meiji), has been a beloved national chocolate snack across generations since its launch in 1975. Its most distinctive feature is its cute mushroom-shaped form. The cracker is light and fragrant, while the chocolate portion has a two-layer structure that gives it a smooth melt-in-the-mouth texture. The slight saltiness of the cracker brings out the sweetness, while the clean finish makes it easy to enjoy.
Each piece is just the right size for one bite, and it doesn’t leave too many crumbs. It’s super convenient as an afternoon snack.

Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo
Opened in 1971 with the aim of being a "city square" in Shinjuku, the biggest town in Japan with high-rise buildings lining up. This high-rise hotel is 170 meters tall, consisting of two towers: the main building and the south building. It is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from the west exit of Shinjuku Station. It provides services as a high-quality international hotel for guests visiting from both Japan and abroad.
The location is really convenient. It’s not too far to walk from Shinjuku Station, and the area nearby is lively with plenty of places to eat and shop.
For Tokyo, the room was fairly spacious, which made the stay much more comfortable. -

Oniyanma Gotanda Main Store
Just within a mere 100 meters of Gotanda Station, Oniyanma proudly serves authentic Sanuki udon in the bustling and convenient Gotanda area, a hub known for its eclectic mix of office districts, entertainment hubs, and upscale residential neighborhoods, all in close proximity to Shinagawa.
Even late at night, there were still a lot of people.
It was just a simple bowl of udon, but it was really memorable. The fried toppings with the broth were especially comforting. -
