About Nagoya

Girls all dolled up, fake smiles—kinda like that scene in *The Master*, “Man is not an animal!” Yeah, right, tell that to the sweaty bloke in the corner.

I’m elbow-deep in grease when my buddy Kenji pops in. He’s always got some wild story. Today, he’s raving about a new ramen joint that just opened near the Numazu Port. Apparently, they’ve got this spicy miso that’ll knock your socks off. I’m like, “Dude, I’m tryin’ to fix this thing, not get my taste buds wrecked.” But now I’m curious.
