Confession of My Sins

I like ramen very much! There was a time when I was really into ramen so I would often go in ramen shops by myself on the way back home from work.
Meanwhile, I found some tourists from overseas staring at me eating at that time.😓 The way Japanese people eat noodles are probably weird to them because we suck up noodles, making noises.😅
I know making noises while eating is rude. Even so, the best part of enjoying ramens is there.

To be honest, I don't like being watched by people, hate especially by strangers, when I eat something. So, I had shied away from going in ramen shops in the past two years. Currently, while a mood of voluntary restraint is spreading nationwide, I found a ramen shop on my way home yesterday. Peeping through the door into the shop, I found no guests there! It's now or never! I rushed into the shop single-mindedly. I put a lot of grated garlic and a little bit of vinegar in my ramen to enjoy to the full. Even if I'm deadly stinky, the next day is Saturday(that's today) so it’ll be no problem as I stay home all day.😁

Ahhh,🤦 I'm sorry I couldn't refrain myself from going into an eatery. I won't do this anymore. In the meantime, I've watched on TV that many small shops have been going bankrupt. I hope this ramen shop will hold out until the normal life is back.


懺悔(My Japanese is very casual)
私はラーメンが大好き!一時期ラーメンにハマッてて、会社帰りによく一人で食べに行ってた。
そんな中、当時、海外からの観光客の中に、私が食べてるところをジッと見ている人がいることに気付いた😓 多分、日本人の麺類の食べ方は奇妙なんだろうね。麺を吸い上げたり、音を立てたりするからね😅 食事中に音を立てるのは無作法だとわかってる。とは言いつつも、ラーメンを味わう醍醐味はそこにある。

ぶっちゃけ、何か食べてるときに人に見られるのはイヤだな。特に見知らぬ人に見られるのはマジでイヤ。なので、ここ2年程、ラーメン屋に行かないようにしてた。全国的に自粛モードが広がる今、昨日の帰り道にラーメン屋を見つけてしまった。ドア越しに店内を覗くと、、お客ゼロ!今しかない!脇目も振らず店に突入した。てんこ盛りのすりおろしニンニクとちょっとのお酢を入れて思う存分味わった。死ぬほど臭くなっても、次の日(つまり今日)は土曜日だし、一日中家にいれば大丈夫だろ😁

あ〜🤦 自分を抑えられず飲食店に入ってしまいました。すみませんでした。
もうしません。でも一方で、多くの商店がどんどん潰れていってるのをテレビで見ているのよね。このラーメン屋、世の中が通常通りに戻るまで持ちこたえてくれるといいな。

You are talking about an event in the past, so I think "was probably weird to them" is best.

You could also say "they probably thought how I was eating was weird because Japanese people suck up noodles, making slurping noises."

I know making slurping or smacking noises while eating is rudeconsidered rude in many (some) countries.

Even so, I think this is the best part of enjoying ramens is there.

Nice job. I made a few additional corrections and suggestions.

I love ramen, and I slurp the noodles when I eat it. However, I must confess that I don't like listening to other people slurp their noodles!

Thank you for the corrections! “smack noises” is new to me. I added it to my word list!😄
Haha! I hope you will feel comfortable around people who make slurping sounds with a slouching posture like me in a ramen shop some day 😆

"smell like death" just sounds more smooth than "deadly stinky"

I won't do ithis anymore.

I hope this ramen shop will hold out until theour normal life isves are back.

Thank you for the corrections! I learned a nice phrase “to my heart's content”. I'll use it (^^)

Even so, the best part of enjoying ramens is thereBut that's part of what makes ramen so good.

To be honest, I don't like being watched by people, hate especially by strangers, when I eat somethingwhen I eat something. I especially hate it, when it's strangers.

Hard to use "hate" in the same sentence. You could just use "To be honest, I don't like being watched by people, especially by strangers, when I eat something." But I saw you put emphasis in the native text so I changed it this way.

I'm keeping all the tenses in past. It's common in Japanese to switch between present and past tense during narration, but in English it's very rare.

なんという偶然でしょう。実は今日ラーメンをネタにしたアニメの1シーンを見たのです。Shieraさんもラーメンをご馳走になっている時、この動画のようなことを考えたりしますか ー

😂😂この動画に出てくるメガネのオジさんとお友達になりたい! ウケる〜😂
私もこの女の子のように、人目を気にせず音を立ててガッツリ食べます😁音を立てて食べることをslurpって言うんですね。勉強になりました!

Also, thank you for the corrections! Especially for th part of using “especially”. I couldn't come up how to express it.

正しくはめんやスープなどをすする行為とその音のことをslurpと言うんです。音を立てて食べることを一言で表す単語は思い付きません。😅
この動画のシーンは「かぐや様は告らせたい」の11話の中盤の所からです。オジさんのシーンはもうちょっと長いので是非一度見てくださいね。ま、ラーメンのシーンはこれだけですから残念です。😅
もし昨日このアニメを見ていなかったらニンニクの大切さは分かっていなかったかも知れません (笑)

なるほど! ネットで調べたらDon't make slurping soundsと出てきました。なんかちょっと語彙力アップした感じです😄
ラーメンにニンニクは必須です。てんこ盛りで。ちなみに私はスパゲッティにもてんこ盛りのニンニクを入れます。強烈に臭いので、必ず休みの前日に食べます。元気が出るパワーフードなので、ヘコんだ時にお試しください😁
