After a short three-night, four-day trip, on my way back to Korea through Narita Airport I had one last bowl of ramen. Haneda has Rokurinsha and Setagaya, but at Narita there is really only Kukai.
Gyoza
Sad to be leaving, I ordered some gyoza too. Hmm. They felt like they had been pulled off the pan a little too early.
Tsukemen
The portion is generous, but the noodles and chashu come out pre-cooked. I do not think it used to be like that.. It saves time, which is a good thing in a place like an airport where you have to watch the clock, but the taste does suffer a bit. Still, it is far better than any tsukemen in Korea.
The dipping broth
It is tonkotsu-based, but a touch salty. Still, it has not gone downhill that badly yet, so I ate quickly and headed into the duty-free shops.
Duty-free haul
This is the fun of Narita Airport: there is something to shop for right up to the very last minute. I brought home quite a haul this time too. By the time I have worked through it all, it will be time to go to Japan again.
The Xiaomi power bank
I took this on the bus home after leaving Narita and landing at Incheon. Thanks to this power bank the trip went off without a hitch. One full charge lasted the entire three nights and four days. Well, I did drain it completely at the very end, after getting back to Korea. IT gadgets tend to have short lives, but this one is genuinely useful and I expect to carry it around for a long, long time.
