Sanuki Udon or I Love Udon

If you didn't know, there surely would be enough indicators that sanuki udon is Shikoku's famous prized delicacy. It's probably sacrilege for those who truly love it; however, I was not able to notice a big difference. Perhaps I wasn't paying enough attention or didn't have enough udon experience. I was probably overwhelmed by the beautiful natural scenery of the Seto Inland Sea. Even if you don't have an opinion about the local udon, you've got to love the sticker that I found in my hotel's gift shop!

Smoking Crab

There's a tobacco shop in Azabu Juban near the Shinichinohashi crossing that has an odd feature.  There's a crab (or kani) featured on their signboard above the shop that is smoking a cigarette and blowing rings.　I guess that the crab is some sort of mascot for the shop, but I just can't figure out the connection.  Am I missing something?

No Concept

The shop was closed, but if you didn't need a concept you could find it here.  What does it all mean?

Sometimes I feel out of place

Hmm.... Perhaps "Lost Tokyo" should have a gallery exhibit at "Tokio Out of Place"?  It seems like we may be on the same wavelength.

Okonomiyaki shop logo

I walk by this okonomiyaki shop on the way to Roppongi Hills every once in a while. The logo that they have selected for their shop seems a little odd to me. Perhaps it supposed to be a spatula. But when I first saw it, I thought that it looked like a bomb or a toilet. What do you think?
