This is Memorial Day weekend, and many things are closed. Because I am remaining on campus to take summer courses, I still need to eat college food at times, especially this weekend when all sources of food on campus (all one of them) are closed. Tonight’s meal consisted of instant ramen noodles in a shiitake mushroom broth, and a drink of sake. The noodles were from a company called Koyo and they were great, I highly suggest picking them up as a cheap snack if you find them as they were only 89¢ a package in a natural foods store. The sake I believe was made by an American brewery named Momokawa. I’m not an expert on sake by any means but it tastes good to my palate at least, so it was worth the money. Just a quick tidbit, sake actually refers to any alcoholic drink in Japanese and the word 日本酒 (nihonshu) specifically means sake. All in all it was a simple, satisfying, slightly different dinner that basically falls under traditional American college grub.
