Stefan 0 Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I've noticed that due to the rain/extreme heat variations, Japan can get a bit whiffy (well here in the city at least). It is mix of things, but reminds me most of wet dog.....any of you guys notice it! Link to post Share on other sites
MistaSparkle 0 Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I noticed that yesterday... No matter where I went, the whole city smelled like dead fish/low tide... so weird! Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 YES! yesterday did smell like dead fish, everywhere I went from Akasaka to Western Setagaya was the smell of fish. I find Tokyo pongs at the best of times, but no worse than other much smaller cities. Link to post Share on other sites

neversummer 0 Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 talking about pongs..does anybody live near a ramen shop where they boil the bones for like days on end, the wind pushing the smell in all directions? It is in my experience the worst smell ever. I walk home with my girlfriend every night and we have to pass this same shop. it f***ing stinks but it is always packed, even at 12.30am Link to post Share on other sites
DrEvil 0 Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I was shocked when I found out what went into the soup of ramen - it put me off the stuff for ages and I haven't fully recovered. What you're saying must be bad Link to post Share on other sites
justaddwater 0 Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 So tell us - what exactly does go in that soup? I'm not sure if I actually want to know either to be honest, but it usually tastes good whatever it is! Link to post Share on other sites
amandanism 0 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 you're going to get smells in any big city. we have skunks around here. the dog got sprayed a few weeks ago and still smells. that mixed with cow manure is the most vile of smells ever. Link to post Share on other sites
MistaSparkle 0 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I think the ramen you're talking about it tonkotsu ramen. I think they make the broth by throwing a bunch of pig bones, and knuckles into a big pot and boiling it forever.... I've been in those joints, and yea... they stink! The ramen tastes good, but the one time I ate it, it left a stank on my lip that took a day to wash off. Link to post Share on other sites
