Waiting Customer in Sapporo
Sunlight floods the open front of a bustling Sapporo ramen shop, illuminating a stainless steel counter where a chef in a white headscarf ladles steaming broth into bowls lined up for service. Behind the glass partition, jars of naruto fish cakes and pickled bamboo shoots sit in bright rows, while a customer in a heavy winter coat leans forward, chopsticks raised mid-air in anticipation. The scene is alive with the steam rising from the pots and the clatter of ceramic bowls, showing the energetic rhythm of a late morning meal. Through the window, the wet pavement of the street reflects the shop’s neon signage, at the base of the intimate activity in the crisp, bright air of Hokkaido.
