I Ate 1kg Ramen in Tokyo and Bought Shoes for Tomorrow|54-Year-Old Japanese Man

The day after I almost turned back in Tokyo, I went out again. This time, I went to try a 1 kg (about 2.2 lb) bean sprout ramen I had seen introduced by Japanese actor Pierre Taki. At first, it looked like just another stop in the city. But after the day before, even a normal walk through Tokyo felt different. This is not just a ramen review. It is not a perfect travel video either. It is one ordinary day after I chose not to turn back. A huge bowl of ramen. A crowded city. A small thing I bought for the road ahead. At first, none of it looked important. But as the day went on, a few quiet moments started to stay with me. Episode 5 of my Tokyo vlog series: a 54-year-old Japanese man trying to rebuild his life, one small step at a time. #TokyoVlog #JapanVlog #TokyoRamen #JapaneseRamen #1kgRamen #TokyoLife #JapanTravel #54YearOldJapaneseMan
