The images are from a range of Tokyo and Kyoto eateries. It features the food section of the immensely popular Nishiki market, also known as Kyoto’s kitchen.

This absence of any veil of pretence separating diner and kitchen, preparation and experience, encouraging people to be fully absorbed in a personal moment.

But when I think of eating naked, I think of sitting or standing around an open kitchen. From ticketed ramen shops, neighbourhood izakaya, standing and converter belt sushi diners they all follow the same principle.

All the best. Hope you win it.

Wonderful, I will ping you here on Friday. Have a good week.

Oh we must. In Ahmedabad for the next couple of days. Would be great to meet you over a coffee or chai if you are around this weekend.

Yup, I was horrified!

Yes Ram, I live close to Gold’s gym / off Turner road.

Reminds me of the time I was at the Taj Land’s End coffee shop at night and there was a very large rat running around. When we pointed this out, one of the staff stomped on it with his boot and killed it. Took up a napkin from the next table and used it to pick it up and walked off.

Just got started watching this on Netflix.

Batuta is a kid and Tughlaq a grandpa, seem to get along so far 🤞🏽

Thank you! Meet his senior partner in residence, the mighty Tughlaq 😀
