I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

Oni Kinba Ramen Ikebukuro store.

On the door of the ramen shop, there is a huge relief of evil spirits, and on the walls on both sides, there are graffiti of various evil spirits.

The all-black decoration style, combined with the golden "Ghost Gold Rod" on the signboard, makes the whole ramen shop look like ghosts and gods descending.

The top of the bar in the store is also covered with colorful ghost heads, golden mace and other decorations.

A waiter brought two huge bowls of ramen to Araki Sousuke and Higashino Yukira.

"This is the 'Spicy Ghost Killer' miso ramen for two. Please eat it carefully according to your own situation, and don't force yourself to finish it."

After the waiter said hello, he looked at the two of them with the eyes of a martyr, then turned and left.

The ghost gold stick ramen shop where the two are located today has always been very famous in Ikebukuro for its hot and delicious miso ramen and weird decoration style. It can be said that there are long queues from morning to night.

"Hey, look at this 5 cm thick, jelly-like jelly-bombed char siu, it's not polite at all..."

Sousuke Araki used his chopsticks to pick up the piece of fat pork char siu that was bigger than a palm on the top of the ramen, and was amazed.

"The person who just cleaned up the Bliss Club, and swaggered in line for an hour at someone else's site, just to eat this ramen, only you can do this kind of thing..."

Higashino Kohei glanced at the crimson soup in the ramen bowl, and a drop of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Just now, the two came to line up before the meal time, and they queued for more than an hour.

Japan's queuing culture is world-famous, and you can see long queues in most places.

In addition to reasons such as dense population, habit of queuing, and store reputation based on the length of the queue, the "Japanese National Minor Crimes Law" stipulates that queuing in public places for "stopping" will be fined less than 1 million yen or even detained for 24 hours.

Therefore, even though the two look ferocious, they look like "extreme brothers" at first glance, they can only stand honestly in the team basking in the sun.

"Stop talking nonsense, you know the rules, and I'm currently on a winning streak..."

Looking at the bowl of ramen exuding strong spicy flavor in front of him, Araki Sousuke said seriously.

"Hmph, do you think I'm still the same person I was back then? When you were playing games, working, flying planes, archers shooting the sky and the earth, I was seriously practicing..."

Hearing his words, Higashino Xinghei also put away his idle expression, his eyes were full of killing intent, and his face was full of fighting spirit.

The blazing sparks generated by the eye contact are like two swordsmen about to have a life-and-death duel.

"The person who eats last and drinks water first pays the bill!"

The two held their chopsticks horizontally in front of them, put their palms together, and after saying this in unison, they attacked the ramen in front of them.

Extreme spicy showdown, open.

Finding a shop famous for its spicy food and having a duel is a war that has lasted for more than ten years between the two.

The soup of Onigin Rod Ramen uses a mixed soup base of poultry and seafood, which is then stir-fried with miso and spices. After this process, the soup retains the original deliciousness of various foods, while the overall taste is mild and mellow.

Unlike other branches that use pork bones and chicken to make soup, this Ikebukuro store only uses pork bones to make soup, so you can feel the richness of pork bones in the soup more strongly here.

The noodles in the store are also very unique. Generally speaking, noodles of the same thickness are used in the cooking process of ramen, but this store uses three kinds of noodles with different thicknesses mixed together, so that customers can taste different tastes in every bite. A degree of springy mouthfeel.

After the thick char siu on the noodles is boiled in the soup base and marinated in the sauce, the freshness and sweetness of the sauce completely penetrates into it. The taste is flexible and sweet, which can be called the essence of the whole bowl of ramen.

Interestingly, a piece of fried "tender corn" is also placed on top of the ramen to represent the "golden rod" in the hands of the evil spirits.

The most important thing is that this is a ramen shop famous for its "spiciness". There are five types of spiciness and numbness in the ramen, and the peppers used are also varied.

What the two are challenging at the moment is the "Spicy Ghost Killer" made by the store known as the spiciest ramen in Japan and made with the world's second hottest pepper "Trinidad Scorpion Butch T" recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.

Just after taking a sip of the soup, Higashino Kohei's face was already red as if it was on fire.

Araki Sousuke's tactic is to finish the noodles and meat in the bowl first, and then quickly drink up the soup in the bowl in a way of death.

However, imagination is beautiful, and reality is skinny.

After eating the food in the bowl, the two stuck out their tongues while looking at the deep red soup base, losing their courage.

The rule of victory and defeat is that the person who "eats last" or "drinks water first" treats the guests.

If neither of them has the courage to finish eating, then we have to see who can't bear to drink water first.

As we all know, spicy is not a taste, but a pain.

And people who like spicy food have the potential to shake M in their bones.

At this moment, Araki Sousuke and Higashino Kohei were trembling, their faces were flushed and their eyes were wide and small, in pain and happiness.

"How about it, I can't hold it anymore, let's go out and buy milk..."

Higashino Kohei stuck out his tongue like a dog, persuading him to surrender.

"Sorry..." Sousuke Araki, whose forehead was covered with sweat, raised his head, the lights in the store shone on his face, and his eyes could not see clearly in the shadows.

Trembling, he took out the wallet in his trouser pocket.

"Oh? Finally can't help but admit defeat and pay the bill?"

Seeing his movements, Higashino Xinghei's eyes moved slightly, as if seeing the balance of victory tilting towards him.

Araki Sousuke spread out the wallet, showing the empty wallet to the other party.

"I'm sorry... all my money was invested in that pachinko shop just now. Although I tore off the point card from the machine while running, it is probably frozen by those guys now... just now in the parking lot That bottle of water is my last property... I have already, there is no way to return it..."

After saying this, Sousuke Araki picked up the bowl in front of him, raised his head and gulped down the thick and dark red soup with enlightened eyes...

How can the spiciness of the tongue in front of me and the blooming of chrysanthemums afterwards compare with the despair of poverty.

"Damn it, no wonder I was asked to advance money to buy meal coupons on the machine when I entered the door... You're so cruel, I'm going to leave the hospital after you, so I'll let you go."

Higashino Kohei ran out of the store to find a vending machine to buy milk.

The spiciness he suffered was no longer something ordinary water could solve.

"Earth Explosive Star (thank you for the hospitality), poverty makes me strong."

After drinking the soup, Araki Sosuke stuck out his tongue and put his palms together.

Then he got up and walked out tremblingly under the awed eyes of the guests and ramen chefs around him.

After coming out of the ghost gold rod, the death duo drank five bottles of milk in a row before they could barely feel the existence of the tongue again.

Then, seeing that the time was almost up, the two of them walked slowly towards the agreed interview location.

There is a social event in the evening, so this chapter will be posted early. Readers, when you have the opportunity to go to Japan, remember to challenge and give the chrysanthemums a chance to bloom.
