Life Cycle of the Noodle
It seems like there is a festival somewhere every weekend and every festival has food. Today's pictures are from Hibiya Park just up the road from the apartment. There was some kind of a festival which seemed to involve wood because there were a lot of wood crafts there. There was also a band playing Brazilian tunes. Nice band although I'm not sure of the connection (not that it matters).
Noodles aren't exotic food at festivals but seeing them made fresh is a bit different. Here we can observe the more important phases of the noodle life cycle:
- Roll the dough out very flat with a big pole the size of closet rod
- Fold the dough up and then cut it with a big knife into long noodles
- Cook the noodles in a great big pot and put some tempura on it
- Eat the noodles and go back to step 1. because there are more hungry people
