The end of an old Tokyo sushi shop

This sushi restaurant had been closed for a long time. The lady’s husband sadly died, so the business went that way as well. However, like many old and traditional places, it also doubled as a home, so she continued to live there.

Well, until recently that is, as when passing by last week, I found the building and those to the left of it emptied out and scheduled for demolition. An all too inevitable end it has to be said, but hopefully not for the lady, who fingers crossed is now living somewhere that is a lot comfier, even if it likely doesn’t have the same kind of character.

      Yeah. Don’t know why, but was not expecting this. At least not for a good while longer anyway. So came as quite a shock.
