The morning bowl, Tsukiji ramen.
Tsukiji Outer Market — a bowl from before dawn. Ramen and town-Chinese, with the famous house-made shumai.
In a corner of Tsukiji Outer Market, a town-Chinese shop that raises its curtain before dawn.
Steaming ramen, and shumai wrapped by hand, one by one.
The same plate, for the people who work the market and the travellers who walk this far. Six in the morning — when the curtain is up, just come in.
