Asakusa Diary - The Staff Blog

Yesterday, Apr 30, we were having nice world beers at Sakura Cafe @ Ikebukuro just like normal days.
I had Tsunami beer that is NO.1 Hawaiian beer. That beer is made of mineral water. Tastes awesome!
After couple bottles done, a ramen freak Daniel took us to Hakata Furyu ramen store.
This chain ramen noodle store gives you 2 free noodles, and costs only 500 yen.
You can choose 2 flavors, normal Tonkotsu (Pork soup) flavor and spicy miso flavor.
That's why Daniel goes 5 times a week even. lol

Then we saw many fire engines in front of Ikebukuro station.

There were so many people rubbernecking at the accident.　

According to the news, somebody sprayed tear gus to random people.
Those people who got spray were sent to a hospital.
This accident reminds me an act of domestic terrorism happening in 1995
named Sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway.
The cult group, AUM Shinrikyo released sarin gas on several lines of the Tokyo Subway.
Because of the attack, 12 people died and some 6000 were injured.

Good part is that nobody died by yesterday's incident.
Even though Japan is still considered as a safe country, we should be aware of dangerousness.
