Charcuterie and Soda on Tsuruhashi Market Board

Thin slices of cured meat rest on a weathered wooden board beside a glass of fizzy citrus soda. The setting is an outdoor stall near Tsuruhashi, where the damp air of early spring rests on the surface. Light reflects softly off the wet water nearby, illuminating crumbs that catch the glow. Raindrops dot the wood and glass, creating small, clear beads against the rich browns and pale yellows. The composition reveals the texture of the meat and the condensation on the glass. One droplet slides down the side of the soda glass, leaving a faint, glistening trail.
