RE: Aki Jitan (A great noodle bar in Tokyo, A Tasteem Review)
Yesss this is on my bucket list! I’ve never had a proper bowl of ramen. I would probably throw out vegetarianism while in Japan. Can you read Japanese or is it manageable without being able to read it?
i'm also curious about how ppl travel in japan without speaking the language
People can often also speak or understand English... and a good deal of signs for public transport and all of that, in the big cities. On the other hand, I was with an orchestra group, so everything was generally taken care of for us. However, on the free day, I was able to travel around by myself in Tokyo without too much trouble, but I didn't stray too far off the well known areas...
Nope, can't read Japanese... but there are generally a lot of signs in English (for the public transport)! Also, most people also speak English to some extent (in the the large cities), so it is possible to ask for help! Also, Google...
There were Vegetarian options for the noodles as well!
This makes me very happy and the goal of visiting Japan much more achievable :D
Just try to avoid a week like we had... Typhoon and a big earthquake! Although, I guess that little earthquakes are unavoidable?
Oh wow, yes those are unavoidable. The typhoon didn’t last the whole time did it, talk about a dampener. You’ll have to go back and find more ramen places to make up for it ;)
