I have relatives living in Sweden. They are my sister-in-law's family. My sister-in-law is Peruvian. Her husband is Swedish too, and they have two daughters, my nieces. The four of them came to visit us in Liverpool. They live in Malmö, Sweden, and the nearest airport to Malmö is Copenhagen Airport in Denmark. They flew from Copenhagen to Manchester Airport, and then they came to Liverpool from Manchester.

We spent about four days together. I showed them around Liverpool, going to cafes and restaurants. My nieces are very cute and lively. They speak Swedish with their father and Spanish with their mother. They speak English with me. It's a really interesting international family. And, I bought them cute summer dresses. This summer, we plan to visit them in Sweden.

"Hello everyone, this is Noriko from Nihongo Storytime. Please listen to my story today as well. In this podcast, I speak slowly. There are also podcasts with a faster pace. Please try listening to my other podcast, Japanese with Noriko. Today, I want to talk about pizza. Do you all like pizza?

I don't eat pizza very often. I don't dislike it, but I prefer noodle dishes over pizza, so I usually eat noodles more than pizza. However, recently, I ate pizza after a long time.

I went to a pizzeria in Liverpool, which is said to be the most popular in the city. The pizza there is in the style of Naples, Italy. The restaurant has a large oven specifically for baking pizza. It's a popular place and is always busy, with lines of people waiting.

We went there on a Thursday night. We hadn't made a reservation, so we had to wait a bit. Even though it was a weekday evening, it was surprisingly crowded. There were many options on the menu, and I had a hard time deciding which toppings to choose. In the end, I chose a pizza with tomato sauce and anchovies. I like the slightly salty anchovies. My husband ordered a pizza without tomato sauce. It had potatoes, ham, and pineapple. It was a bit of a strange pizza.

What kind of toppings do you like? Ham, cheese, olives, mushrooms... there are various toppings available. The pizza at this restaurant was really delicious, so I want to go there again."

"Hello everyone, this is Noriko from Nihongo Storytime. Please listen to my story today again. In this podcast, I speak slowly, but there are also podcasts with a faster pace. Try listening to my other podcast, Japanese with Noriko. Now, today's topic is about ramen. Do you all like ramen?

What is your favorite Japanese food? Curry rice? Sushi? Donburi? Or perhaps, ramen? Ramen is popular abroad as well. There is even a Korean-style ramen restaurant in Liverpool, England, where I live. The soup there is a bit spicy, and it's quite delicious.

Recently, I traveled from Liverpool to Manchester by train. Manchester is the second-largest city in England, of course, after London.

In Manchester, there is a branch of the Japanese ramen chain Shoryu. I had lunch there. I ate miso tonkotsu ramen, and my husband had tonkotsu ramen. It tasted like the nostalgic Japanese tonkotsu ramen and was very delicious. However, there was one disappointing thing. The price of the ramen was very high.

I think the same ramen would cost less than half in Japan. Currently, the cost of living in the UK has increased, and eating out at restaurants is really expensive. We ordered ramen, fried chicken, and beer, and I was surprised at the high cost. In Japan, ramen is considered fast food, so it's inexpensive, quick, and easy to eat. But it's different in the UK.

Sometimes, I also eat instant noodles, but only occasionally because they are not very healthy. When I feel like it, I go to an Asian supermarket and buy Korean instant noodles.

Which type of ramen do you like? Tonkotsu, shoyu, miso, shio, or vegan ramen? My recent favorite is miso ramen. That's all for today."
