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 soba bowl topped with whitebait, tempura, greens and fish cake, an udon with wakame and tempura beside pickles, the ticket vending machine used to order, and the shop sign reading soba and udon.
Soba and udon for breakfast, Roger wrote. The ticket machine is the giveaway: a quick, everyday counter shop rather than a destination restaurant.
The quick critique
What stood out
- Soba with tempura and whitebait
- Udon with wakame
- Order-by-ticket-machine counter
Bottom line
Archive verdict
An everyday Tokyo breakfast done the local way.
