OK, Here we go..... I think it only fair to start with this photo as this trip to Tokyo, and the inspiration of these two guys with me in the photo, really kicked off my interest in exploring food, photographing said eats, and sharing/explaining my impressions of my experiences. So, to you David Chang and Anthony Bourdain, Cheers, and thanks. As I begin I think it only fair to explain a bit of what my purpose with this blog is. As you know, I do not participate in Facebook, and I wont go into why here, but I NEEDED a vehicle to communicate and connect with those in my life, both near and far. As the name implies, this will primarily be a blog about pizza. However, as this is mine, I will feel free to do and say as I damn well please, as it pleases me. So I hope to not offend or tiptoe too far over the line of appropriateness, but if I do, that's just too fucken bad. Enjoy. Pizza, food, life experiences, thoughts, feelings, rants, and more food. This is what you will find here. Please feel free to share and pass along to anyone you think might have an interest, as I hope you will as well. Sincerely yours, DVA

Ramen, Tokyo Station, Japan

The week is over and we're headed out of Japan.  But the day ahead is still very long and we are hungry.  We're at Tokyo station and it's time to change from the Shinkansen to the train, the Narita Express.  A 1 hour non-stop train ride from the city to the airport.  But were hungry, it's a week day, and it's lunch time, and the place is packed.

After wandering through the maze we finally come across a noodle shop that doesn't have an hour wait.

Michi-chan had the shark fin ramen, smelled great



Le-san and I each had the large, extra stuff ramen (I don't remember the exact name, but it was like Mega or Super or Giant, but it really just had lots in the bowl, see below)


And it was spicy!

I had the red and Le-san had the black, I think.  I was tired and hungry, and this hit the spot.


And then my belly felt like it had been hit, in the wrong spot....

Don't get me wrong, it was delicious, but the volume I consumed in the short period of time was maybe just a bit much.  I feel sorry for the people behind me in the customs departure lounge.....
