Edo-mae tempura, in Tsukiji.
Edo-mae tempura and seafood donburi in Tsukiji — the day's catch, fried piece by piece, fresh from the oil.
The crackle of fresh batter — that light, lingering sound.
The day's best of Tsukiji's catch, fried piece by piece in quiet stillness.
Nokke Teishoku, Tendon, Maguro Zuke-don — each one, Edo-mae through and through.
The bowl The day's sea,
The day's sea,
over rice.
Just beside the Tsukiji market. Fish landed that morning — into fresh tempura, into soy-marinated tuna. Each bowl reflects the day's sea.
