tokiwa noodle shop

Tokiwa is an unassuming noodle shop in central Kyoto that serves a huge variety of perfectly average canteen-style meals. It's also the first place that I ever tasted nishin soba. And for that reason it holds a very special place in my heart. I can't remember when exactly I first entered this place, but it must have been over a decade ago, just after I had first moved to … [Read more...]

Today's pictures come from Omen; not a scary movie but a small chain of old-style noodle restaraunts here in Kyoto.
