I had something to pick up at IKEA Funabashi, so I dropped by over the weekend. While wondering what to have for lunch, I ended up in line at a ramen shop in LaLaport.

The kitchen

Aoba is a famous shop in Nakano, Tokyo — I had no idea a branch had opened out here..

The chuka soba..

But the style turned out to be more ordinary than it looks.. maybe because I’ve been eating too much really good ramen lately..

The noodles

Old-style noodles too..

The weather was so nice that day that I kept snapping photos..

The Chiba sky

You don’t often get to see such a laid-back scene in Tokyo

The sky over IKEA

They were running a beer garden in front of IKEA..

Weather like this calls for a drink..

A cheap jar

It was so cheap I just bought one. To use for ichigo whisky — strawberry-infused whisky..
