明日もどうぞ｜See You Tomorrow｜2021/03/05

無性に食べたくなる悪いものがある。その一つが天下一品だ。こってりとしたスープについつい惹かれてしまうが、カロリーを考えると恐ろしい。昔は都内に数軒しかなかったのでわざわざ車で食べに行くというハードルがあったけれど、今では気軽に手が届いてしまう。自制心がある時はいいのだが、お酒の後の定番になってしまったこともある。昨晩は炭水化物も食べてないからいいかなと自分に言い聞かせながら「こってり」を注文。スープはなるべく残そうと思うけれど、結局ラーメン鉢の底に書かれた「明日もお待ちしてます。」の文字が出てきてしまう。せっかくのお誘いだけど、お断りしておこう。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗）

There are bad things that make me want to eat asexually. One of them is Tenkaippin noodle. It is fascinated by the thick soup, but it's scary considering the calories. In the past, there were only a few shops in Tokyo, so there was a hurdle to go out to eat by car, but now it's easy to reach. It's good when I have self-control, but sometimes it had become a staple after drinking. This time I ordered "heavy" while telling myself that I didn't eat any carbohydrates last night. I'd like to leave the soup as much as possible, but in the end, the words "I'll be waiting for you tomorrow" appear on the bottom of the ramen bowl. It's a great invitation, but let's decline it. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
