Yeah I finally got around to trying that new ramen place you mentioned last week. Honestly it was really good. The broth had this deep rich flavor that I wasn't expecting. I went with the spicy tonkotsu and it hit the spot. The noodles were perfectly chewy too. We should definitely go back sometime maybe next week if you're free. I know you said you wanted to try their gyoza so let me know when works for you. Also the service was surprisingly fast for a Saturday night. We got seated within ten minutes. The ambiance was cozy with dim lighting and wooden tables. I tried their matcha dessert too and it was a nice way to end the meal. The portions were generous without being overwhelming. Overall I would give it an 8 out of 10. Let me know if you want to check out their lunch menu next time instead. I heard they have a special on weekdays that includes an appetizer.

I finished that book you lent me last night. Took me a while to get into it but by the third chapter I was hooked. The way the author describes the setting makes you feel like you are actually there. I can see why you recommended it. I will bring it over this weekend and we can chat about it. Let me know if you want to borrow the one I just started it is a similar vibe but with a faster pace. I think you would enjoy it based on what you have told me about your reading preferences. The characters are well developed and the plot has some unexpected twists that kept me guessing until the end. There is a subtle theme running through the story about connection that I found really compelling. The writing style reminded me a bit of that author we both liked from a few years back. I stayed up way too late finishing it last night because I could not put it down. The final chapter had a reveal that completely changed my perspective on the whole story.
