Being food lovers, my family and I went to Tokyo, Japan last year for a food-centric holiday. We arrived at night, and at about 10pm we ventured out of our hotel to search for the quintessential Japanese fare: ramen.

We went to a popular ramen restaurant chain that’s unique for its minimal human interaction. After placing our order through the self-service machine, we were ushered to our own separate cubicles.
