posted October 23, 2004

A sea of fire floating on a sea of people, and yet no one seems to get burned.

    Yeah, that’s called nagashi somen (Look here. There is a link to a short video). It’s popular in the kurama/kibune area, where you can eat on platforms of tatami stretched over the river itself, or even flat-bottoms boats anchored in the river. Quite a treat in the heat of summer. Another restaurant.
