Kobe, Japan view map

Rice, noodles, tempura, sushi, sashimi...
All kinds of local Japanese dishes can be found in this food alley.
They didn't have English menus and/or English-speaking staff.
The only way to order your food is "Point and Confirm" - point to the picture(s)
and use your fingers to confirm the quantity.
The staff would show you the price thru' a calculator.

The rain on the floor reflected the light that made it vey stunning and colourful. If I were in there, I must eat all of them even though my wallet and my stomach could not affort it.

Superb, simply superb!!! Love the atmosphere... would you post some close-up food shots later on (colourful sushi or sashimi)? I keep wondering.:-)

Great night shot of this food alley, CM.
The lighting and reflections due to the early
shower enhance the composition.
