This noodle shop in Japan has nowhere to sit…

"a little more fancy" *immediately shows plywood everywhere*

[TheKingsPride]

“A more upscale place” immediately pans the camera over to the corner of a Home Depot

Looks like eating well crafted soba in an active construction site.

[t.k.]

I'm very confused by the vibes that place is giving

[dodiswatchbobobo]

You know it’s fancy because everything is made of compressed wood *on purpose*

[lofu]

“This kind of restaurant might seem weird for recreational sitters” highly underrated statement

[riskvideos]

They took "less is more" to heart and it shows.

People who can stand and poop have all of my respect.

Well, I'm in a wheelchair, so I guess you could say I bring my own seat

There is also 立ち読み...just a usual bookstore if you want to read a book without buying it

[Woozlewuzzleable]

It better be cheap if I'm standing up.

Those particle board everything interior is definitely an interesting choice.

My first encounter with a Stand-Eat restaurant was at the Ueno Station, while waiting for the Shinkansen train This type of restaurant became popular as far back as 1890, during Japan's industrialization period, and served mainly travelers who had only few minutes to eat before catching the train. Even for the rush-nature, the food was tasty and fresh.

This is the Japanese equivalent of a craft burger restaurant that "does things a little differently"

soba water is called soba-yu. Japanese people drink it like tea at the soba restaurant cuz it’s good for health. you can also mix it with left over soba tsuyu.

Yeah, I'll try almost anything at least once, but those raw, particle board counters are torturing my soul. 😅

I hate it when they want to charge you premium and the surroundings look like you shouldn't be there.

[OHYisWatching]
