Souzaiya, Ikoma
Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 27 June 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
A souzaiya is a shop that sells food in a deli-style selection, usually the kind of small dishes you might eat as a snack, or make part of a bento (Japanese lunch box); my wife described it as being the 'Japanese version of tapas'.
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

Great shot. Terrific clarity. I cannot wait to visit Japan. The food looks so interesting and inviting.

Beautiful treatment on this one, and a great slice of daily life - I enjoy following the eyes around the photo.
