I decided I wanted ramen for dinner, so I looked on google maps, went up to the surface where it was almost not raining... and then walked to the nearest one with a good score. Apparently it is historical in some way, and ordering was a bit different. The machine really only had one thing to select, so I ordered it and sat down at a really old tiny wooden booth facing the kitchen with a little blind.
The blind was lifted and a guy did a bow and handed me a sheet of paper to customise my order - level of spice, noodle chewiness etc. So I filled that out and rang the bell and he came back and opened the blind again, closed it, and repeated the routine to deliver my ramen. Also, the egg was in its shell, I had to peel it, I cannot remember the last time I peeled a boiled egg.
As for the ramen, hmmmm, nothing special, not much flavour, noodles were a bit ordinary. I feel as though they are trading on history.
