nice catch!

I think it is called mazesoba.

somehow mazesoba doesn’t have the same ring to it as ramen haha. applying some creative artistic license here

That looks really good.  Do you call that ramen though?  That looks like thick knife-cut noodles that I'm more accustomed to seeing in Taiwan than in Japan.

This photo was taken in a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Kumamoto. As a free-spirited person, I wondered whether the couple felt cooped up in their tiny space, having to serve the same customers day after day, enjoying no form of stimulus that reinvigorated their lives. But at the same time, I knew that there is a quiet and admirable dignity in sticking by each other, by the one thing that fuels your purpose, by the determination to stay put and sink roots that spread over a wide area. They had each other, ramen, and the community. Maybe that is all that matters.
