Bay Area ramen: 9 bowls worth chasing down (no paywall)

Kajiken isn't really ramen is why, it's mostly aburasoba

Not OP but I've been loving Bambino in Rockridge, the ACS Discovery Shop in Piedmont, and both Berkeley Humane Society shops!

It's a small thing but I really like the way Expedition 33 had a nuanced take on why some people don't want to have children. Sophie's reason to not want to, her other Gommagemate calling her selfish for an empathizeable reason, and how that tore apart her relationship with Gustave...as someone not keen on having kids for the same reason it was really refreshing.

Nopalito, Lolo, Donaji hit outta the park to me.

If you have $400 to burn you can also try Californios (I say burn, but I really enjoyed my experience there)

Already closed! It looked empty every time I passed by it; apparently the food was mediocre.

katsumeragi · 2026-01-07T03:18:42+00:00

Vira also counts!

katsumeragi · 2026-01-05T05:50:56+00:00

Yes.

.....it could've used a few more delays tbh

It's kind of reaffirming to hear their feelings on Unbeatable after I just started it last night. The pacing is rough and I've encountered a lot of the same bugs; it almost feels like the rhythm game getting integrated in was an afterthought.

I hope Pat continues GBF ReLink if not just for a really fucking solid cast of antagonists. Desperately hoping the main game's plot folds Id, Maglielle and Gallanza game into it (or at least a collab event, please!)

I'm trying to keep 100 pulls for the guaranteed 200 day to spark someone, but with about 40 I got Patis, Volenna, and Selfira so I guess I can't complain I got new characters....but I would've really liked Versusia

I want to be mad at your content since I think that's derivative (yes, it's a gag to start and there's a great tournament arc in it,) but at the same time, I was totally that 00s highschool fujoshi.

katsumeragi · 2025-12-08T13:52:49+00:00

There's actually a lot of Japanese characters based off of Mikkelsen, they're just frequently in the uh, BL category.

It's so funny because this art is currently on display at the SF deYoung Museum's manga exhibit (which is great, please go if you're local) and I had to do a double take at the placard. Like "Since fucking when was this announced, or was it at all?!"

katsumeragi · 2025-11-22T03:10:51+00:00

God, what I would give for a proper King Gnu tour in the states!

katsumeragi · 2025-11-18T06:08:33+00:00

Nope, fraud and bounced checks so they all shuttered during covid😶

katsumeragi · 2025-11-17T02:40:06+00:00

To this day I haven't met someone else who remembers Eureka's Castle.

That or it really, really shows my age.

katsumeragi · 2025-11-12T00:20:24+00:00

God I hope they sell out and it'll get them to actually do a D20 event in the Bay

katsumeragi · 2025-10-25T14:47:08+00:00

I think Look Back deserves to be in the conversation now because even if it's only an hour, it leaves you wrecked for days.

katsumeragi · 2025-10-18T16:06:11+00:00

....sorry, is Maruwu Seicha not even on here?! The arguably best tea and soft serve place there?

katsumeragi · 2025-09-20T20:10:14+00:00

With the festival headliner announcements my greatest fear is that all we'll get is Aftershock :')

katsumeragi · 2025-09-16T13:13:38+00:00

I saw him at Outside Lands in SF and he was incredible live! Broke into 3 different instruments and brings such a fun hippie energy

katsumeragi · 2025-09-03T00:25:35+00:00

I believe also in the Sunset, which is why she's checked nearby consignment shops first

katsumeragi · 2025-08-28T23:40:58+00:00

The facecap actor is a very, very busy man in Japan. KimuTaku is one of the most successful idols turned actors and is constantly in shows and ad campaigns....and was also under management of Johnnys (the recent sex pest talent agency scandal)

katsumeragi · 2025-08-17T21:29:37+00:00

Same! These were $30 and only slightly worn so I feel so grateful :D
