In Japan, table manners are closely associated with the handling of chopsticks.Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-28825643775805186452013-04-02T19:27:08.436+09:002013-04-02T19:27:08.436+09:00Haha!

It's horribly bad manners to make sounds when eating in Western countries...<br />Thank you for the address. <br />I must look out for this offer in other izakayas too. <br />Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-11565554273680783132013-04-01T09:20:20.723+09:002013-04-01T09:20:20.723+09:00Sissi: I didn't think that the ice cubes were ...Sissi: I didn't think that the ice cubes were particularly huge... Anyway, I liked them because they were crystal clear, not opaque like the ones we make in our home fridge.<br /><br />I have already provided the exact name of the izakaya: Houryou, and it's about a 20-minute walk from JR Shiozawa Station.<br /><br />As for nomi houdai, there are many izakaya that offer similar plans.<br /><br />As for ramen, I often think that the most difficult part of ramen eating is that many non-Japanese people just can't slurp!Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-53968433181780209142013-04-01T08:39:21.617+09:002013-04-01T08:39:21.617+09:00Hiroyuki!

We never have these in Europe (at least I have never seen anywhere). Of course it's nicer to get drunk with someone... <br />I like your izakaya more and more. I will ask the exact name and address if I come to your city one day. I am especially attracted by the "all-you-can-drink" option ;-) <br />I think ramen would be popular all around the world if only people started opening ramen shops... I have recently even seen a ramen shop in Lyon (France)! There were Japanese-looking cooks and it looked very Japanese... Unfortunately I have seen it only after my lunch, but we will test it next time we go there. It's cheap and looks delicious.Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-66296359052496397472013-03-30T18:17:50.109+09:002013-03-30T18:17:50.109+09:00Kiki:

That's a good question!...Kiki:<br /><br />>I wonder...<br />That's a good question! According to their menu, a glass of chuhai (shochu + water, tea, etc.) costs 420-490 yen. But, anyway, as far as I am concerned, the cheaper the better (laugh).<br /><br />You will be disappointed when you visit an izakaya in Japan, because an izakaya usually doesn't serve cocktails.Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-70656839109205443212013-03-30T17:09:54.451+09:002013-03-30T17:09:54.451+09:00Carbonara with shrimps is a good idea. I wonder ho...Carbonara with shrimps is a good idea. I wonder how this Izakaya manages to survive with those low price offers. The bar we are visiting once a month offers a membership for 1 year for 25 Euros. Members only pay half the price for drinks. This is also a great deal because we always drink a lot of cocktails (and have to suffer the next day...)Fräulein Trudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786420907067152211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-69643159380828280942013-03-30T16:02:43.588+09:002013-03-30T16:02:43.588+09:00okasan: This izakaya offers three nomi houdai + 2 ...okasan: This izakaya offers three nomi houdai + 2 appetizers plan:<br />soft drink for 990 yen<br />shochu and soft drink for 1,490 yen<br />draft beer, shochu, local sake, and soft drink for 2,490 yen<br /><br />If I hadn't been on a diet, I would have selected the third one!<br /><br />Ramen is that popular in NYC???Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-15097901056422227272013-03-30T13:09:01.292+09:002013-03-30T13:09:01.292+09:00All you can drink in 90 minutes plus 2 appetizers ...All you can drink in 90 minutes plus 2 appetizers for 1490yen, that's a sweet deal! I think you got your money's worth! Yeah, you don't want to be the only drinker at the table. <br />Tonkotsu ramen is one of my favorite ramen. While in New York earlier this month we waited an hour and a half to have a bowl of ramen! It wasn't even weekend at prime time. The busyness was because New York Times rated it as the best ramenya in NYC! It was good but I won't wait that long next time. okasanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260327403036041094noreply@blogger.com
