Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

The collage shows a seafood bowl with chopped tuna and roe, a tuna-and-salmon bowl, uni gunkan, a dish of sea snails, the couple at the table and the izakaya interior.

Last meal in Tokyo, Roger wrote. Choosing raw seafood for the finale is a clear statement of what he wanted to remember about the city.
