Satisfying a craving at the ramen counter

After a long lecture at Isahaya City Hall and a long walk in the sunshine and wind on Isahaya’s reclaimed land, several students craved the savory enjoyment that only comes from ramen. Some students had taken the JS department’s food module, called Itadakimasu, so they had seen the 1986 classic “Tampopo,” a film about the Japanese love of all kinds of food, prepared in a huge variety of ways. The title of the film, which means dandelion, comes from the name of a ramen shop whose renovation (from the soup base to the countertop) is at the heart of the story. Students were able to revisit the film and satisfy their craving at this shop in Isahaya.

Delicious to the last drop
