Just another fun food post. This restarant that features Aomori native novelist Osamu Dazai's "Dazai ramen" and Tsugaru regional cuisine. It's called [Me] and is located at Shin Aomori station.
また面白そうな食べ物ネタ。新靑森駅にある太宰らうめんと津軽のめしや「めぇ」。

About three years ago, when a taxi came to pick me up from Naijoshi Station to take me to the factory where I teach English once a week, imagine my surprise that I was picked up in an anime-decorated car. I was familiar with the virtual idol Hatsune Miku but had no idea that Hatsune Miku and Hirosaki City did a collaboration project. The Sakura Miku Taxi is the only one in existence (or so the taxi driver told me). A very friendly and talkative female driver who told me she always tries to be the one to pick me up. She is also the driver of the Sakura Miku taxi. It was the first I had seen it so I asked if I could take pictures of it and she said no problem.
3年前、企業の授業に行くとき、いつも撫牛子駅でタクシーが迎えに来てくれる。ある日、凄い派手なタクシーが登場。アニメのキャラが描いたタクシーでした。自分はバーチャルアイドルの初音ミクは知ってたが、桜ミクを初めて見た。陽気な女性運転手が教えてくれた。初音ミクと弘前市がコラボプロジェクトを実施、このタクシーも登場した。実は日本でこの1台しかありません。それも運転手の情報。彼女がいつも俺狙いに、自分の電車の時間で近くでいようとするとも言った。なぜか僕と話しするのが大好きで、結構仲良くなった。自分がその桜ミクタクシーが珍しいから写真を撮っても大丈夫と聞いたら、遠慮無く撮ってと言われた。
Before the pandemic, there was an Italian restaurant we discovered and actually liked but unfortunately it's closed now. The name of the place was [Napoli no Kama].
新型コロナが流行る前に気に入りのイタリアンレストランを発見。それが「ナポリの竈」。料理も美味しかったし、店内の雰囲気も良かった。それが「ナポリの竈」。
After we moved to Aomori City from Tokyo in November of 2016, I noticed a ramen shop that was located very close to our house. I've wanted to check it out for quite some time and finally, in January of this year (yes, eight years later), we finally went and had lunch there! The name of the ramen shop is [Koushin] and according to a sign outside, their broth is chicken-base.
2016年11月東京から靑森市に引っ越して、義理の母と一緒住むことに。それでうちで一番近いラーメン屋を発見し、ずーとと気になってた。今年の1月やっと行きましたよ。はい、靑森に引っ越して、8年が経ったところでやっと行った。店の名前は「光心」(こうしん)。外側の壁で鶏ダシのラーメンと書いてある。
Although this shop is closed now, we went to a yakiniku and ramen restaurant called [Akai Tougarashi]. it was a very good yakiniku restaurant. We only went one time and had planned to go again somewhere along the way the restaurant closed and the building was torn down.
現在は閉店してますが、一回だけうちの近くにあった焼肉とラーメンレストラン「赤い唐辛子」に行った。いつの間にか、店が閉店し、ビルも解体された。
Tokyo is full of gourmet burger shops. I often spent more than 1000yen on a burger at these places as they were so good. Imagine my shock when I moved to Aomori City and it seemes like the only burger offerings were from McDonald's or Mos Burger, not that I don't like either of those, but those are fast food. Sometimes you just want to eat a gourmet burger. But then I discovered there was a burger shop inside A-Factory, a place where you can buy regional Aomori products. It's located on the first floor of A-Factory close to where I work and is called [Ocean's Diner].
東京ならグルメバーガーショップはいっぱいある。いろんなグルメバーガーショップに行き、1000円以上のバーガーを何回も食べたことがある。靑森市に引っ越したらショックを受けた。グルメバーガーショップが1軒もないみたい。バーガー食べたいならマックかモスバーガーになる。別にその2件も嫌いという訳でもないし、ですが、グルメバーガーショップとは言わない。でもある日、職場の近くにある観光客に靑森県産のアイテムで帰る施設A-Factoryの中に1件のグルメバーガー屋があった。それが「オーシャンズ・ダイナー」。
