Survivor
It continues to crack me up, the number of fast food/stand-up and slurp ramen/soba/udon joints that sit perched on the platforms of major train stations.
It's testament to the fucking enormous population of Tokyo, that an establishment can cater to the demographic of one train line (for example, you can only eat at the "Soup Stock" cafe at Shinagawa station, if you've bought a ticket on the Keikyu line) and still survive.
