Looking in and out of a filthy Tokyo restaurant window

When it comes to cheap and cheerful Japanese eateries, there often seems to be a weird correlation between the amount of filth and the quality of the food. An anomaly that goes against conventional wisdom and dictates that the dirtier the place is, the more delicious the grub will be.

So on outside appearances at least, the fare in this place should be of a fairly high standard. But even if it’s not, there’s still the consolation of the fella doing the cooking looking like a thoroughly decent sort.

    Obscured by the bars it’s hard to tell if he’s smiling or secretly begging for help… Going to have to trust you on this one. 😉
