A wonderfully ramshackle old Tokyo restaurant

When in a new area and it’s fast approaching lunch time, there’s always the hope that an interesting little place will present itself. And for me at least the Chinese restaurant below was pretty much perfect, as it’s old, cosy and happily displays all the dilapidation of its five-plus decades in operation.

      It is a genuinely wonderful place. A real locals place too, so I suspect the old fella enjoys lots of beers there!

    What sparse decor and not even a beckoning cat or a small shrub; just a sign and a small portrait.

      Yeah, a very simple set up in every sense. As for the portrait, I think he must have been having a rough day when he sat for it!
