Back Alley, Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan

After our tour of the temple, we stopped for lunch a corner noodle house. The basic concept is soba noodles with leafy greens and tempora vegetables covered with broth. "So why is the picture of two Kenyan warriors here?" Because they are two warriors that starred in a soon to be released movie and are on tour in Tokyo.

They were fascinated by two non-Japanese eating soup with chopsticks. Through their interpreter, they asked what we were eating and I said Soba noodles. The one facing the camera in the picture smiled and waved. The second interpreter, explain to us that Soba sounds like the Kenyan word for good morning.
