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.

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