[center][h1]Ultana Whelen - Streets Of Kyoto[/h1][/center] Out of one hell and into another! Ultana raged as she found herself in another dilemma. Mental battle in the library and now a war has broken out for her stomach! For Ultana, it was truly a battle of life or death. [i]Wellllllll.......[/i]maybe not that serious but it was still a difficult position she found herself in. Back in Seidoujima it was a clear cut call, with ramen being her number one food of choice but here in Kyoto, she came across all sorts of food that she has never come across before, a way bigger selection. Her mouth was practically gushing from all the delicious looking and smelling food. But since that first bowl of ramen, she knew the path she was bound to walk! It was the path of the ramen arts! She asked around for advice on where to go to for her version of fine dining and it seemed that in this country, the best shops for ramen were smaller stones on 'less-traveled' roads. At first she wondered why, but she began to realize why. It was kind of like back home, small time 'local' places tend to have a homey, unique kind of taste with proper ingredients, as to the bigger places tend to muck up the flavor by serving something generic with processed ingredients that had a cheap kind of taste. And the fact you wouldn't find ramen in a fancy, fine dining kind of place. Kind of like dive bars, the dirtier and smaller it is, the better the food. It's usually how it goes, so why not with ramen? Decision made, she was off to find herself the best ramen in Kyoto! Ultana, with her spirit burning red hot, raced down the street in pursuit of ramen, not paying any attention to the commotion her passion for ramen has started. Well, it could be her running full-bore into a crowd of people, lost in her own little world and possibly sending a few people flying.....but let's ignore that part!
