Ramen and Sake Tee

拉麺 (rāmen): "pulled noodles."

Office drinking nights in Japan rarely stop at one bar. The nomikai rolls into a nijikai, the second party, often karaoke, and when that breaks up somebody suggests the shime. The word comes from shimeru, to tie off, and the classic way to tie off a long night is a bowl of ramen at a counter, eaten in coats, often after the last train has gone.

On the front, a ramen bowl with chopsticks and an egg sits beside a tokkuri, the narrow-necked sake flask, against red sun rays, with "After Work" in heavy navy letters above. The bowl is stamped 拉麺 (rāmen), "pulled noodles," from 拉, to pull, and 麺, noodles.

Wear it to the Friday plan that was supposed to be one drink. It's also the gift for the coworker who always says one more place, then orders the ramen. The red and navy are as loud as a bar poster, and calmer cousins wait in the Japanese graphic tees.
