Food delivered traditionally by bicycle in Tokyo

In a world of delivery motorbikes and Uber Eats bags, the sight of food being transported the traditional way is an increasingly rare sight. One only really seen in certain parts of the city. But just like the old adage about buses, after waiting ages to see one, two sometimes come along at once.

    I love that they both look like they want to dump their bowl of soup on the head of the guy who is taking their picture.

      They must. Makes you wonder how many meals were lost in the early days…

    From what I’ve seen on TV Uber Eats reputation in Tokyo might not be the best. I still love ringing restaurants to get food delivered by people like these.

      Interesting. Wasn’t aware of that. Certainly a service that has suddenly become much more visible of late.
