Back to Satsumakko for a favourite bowl near year’s end

A craving for ramen brought Haruru back to Satsumakko after some time away. It was still her personal favourite, and her note about the meal also looked back on a year that had felt full of experiences.

A craving led back to Satsumakko

The ramen tasted just as good on this return. For Haruru, it remained her favourite bowl.

The close view of the bowl carries the words ひさびさに and さつまっこ, echoing the craving that brought her back after a while.

The shop’s name on a glass

Another image shows a glass holding a golden drink with foam on top. A red illustrated face and the words “ラーメンショップ” and “さつまっこ” stand out on the glass.

The overlaid text calls the glass cute. Alongside the bowl, this image keeps a small detail from the table.

A meal note with a look back at the year

Haruru also reflected on how quickly the year had passed. Her thought that it had been another full year closes this small memory of a favourite meal.
