Fabruary, 2016..

About a month before came here, me and my husband saw a program in NHK Channel about an old ramen vending machine in a corner of port city in the north of Japan, it's Akita. All of Akita's people love this old ramen vending machine. It has a long story for them. A lot of people come here just to eat hot ramen everytime, in the middle of the day, night, morning, sunny, wind, heavy rain and even snow.

That NHK's program make me and my husband really curious about that old vending machine. So today, we decided to go there only to eat ramen in that vending machine.

So we went from Tokyo early in the morning to take the earliest Shinkansen train bound for Akita. After arrived in Akita we took a local train to small station called Tsuchizaki. It was snow, heavy rain and heavy wind. But we decided to keep looking for that vending machine. So in the middle of heavy rain, without and umbrella, we walked from station following the GPS on google maps. After about 45 minutes, finally we found it!!!!

We try to eat ramen from that famous old vending machine. It's only ¥200 and you can choose for soba or udon. That ramen is super simple but delicious. When we ate, a lof of people, with their cars or foot came and buy that ramen too. At that time I know how much Akita people love that old ramen vending machine 💕
