Kitakata Ramen station announcement

[cteno4]

From profit of the way on yahoo JRforum

 

"AIZU-WAKAMATSU, Fukushima Prefecture--Train station officials here are using their noodle to determine why an electronic signboard erroneously flashed “Kitakata ramen,” a renowned local delicacy, instead of “Sayonara 485 series” train..."

heheh, yeah I saw that.  Someone must have been hungry

 

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitakata,_Fukushima

 

Kitakata is well known for its distinctive ramen. The area within its former city boundaries has the highest per-capita number of ramen establishments in Japan. Ramen has such prominence in the region that locally, the word soba usually refers to ramen, and not to actual soba which is referred to as nihon soba ("Japanese soba"). Kitakata's ramen consists of rather thick, flat, curly noodles served in a pork and niboshi broth.

 

 

I'm a bit surprised about the concentration of restaurants

 

edit: too bad about the 485, btw :(
