On Tuesday night after dinner, I turned on the TV and started watching a drama-esque program. I didn't know what I was getting into. And that was a 2.5 hour long "Fall Drama Special" about a guy who makes Ramen. That's right, ramen. But not the instant just-add-hot-water kind of ramen, the actual restaurant ramen that I love here in Japan.
In summary, it was a horribly cheezy drama in the way that only Japanese TV can do it. Notable celebrity appearances were by the K1 guy (big bald guy with a mustache, don't remember his name) and the Chairman from Iron Chef. Both played ramen shop owners. There was also a guy who I think is a comedian, but he was dressed like Solid Snake and gave weird kanji phrases to "describe the taste of" the ramen.
