Скачать или смотреть Cambridge's social Yume Wo Katare Japanese restaurant: Can I do it?

Yume Wo Katare is Japanese for “Speak your dreams.” This small ramen restaurant in Porter Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts caught my attention because of the lines I always see outside of people waiting to be seated.

When one googles Yume one discovers that it has an entry in Wikipedia. How many tiny restaurants get on Wiki? Not many, I’d assume.

“The restaurant is known for its service concept: diners are encouraged to share their dreams and aspirations to their fellow diners after finishing their meal,” according to Wikipedia.

It was started in 2012 by a person called Tsuyoshi Nishioka and serves a group of 18 customers at a time. When the eating and dream sharing is over, each customer is given a grade, based on the amount of food left in a bowl, by the restaurant staff. Waste is not encouraged.

One young Japanese woman who was waiting in line outside the restaurant recently told me that the food was really good.

I'd like to try the food but to do this I need to socialize. Let me think about it.
