Photographer’s Note

Wanko is in fact the bowl to serve miso-soup. However, in wanko soba, soba (buckwheat noodles) is served in these bowls. Each servings will have number of bowls (usually 12 or more) with soba. And the idea is to each as much as possible. Waitress will serve new bowl every time one finishes eating one. In competition, people eat as much as 100 bowls.

The photo is taken in Iwate prefecture which is specially famous for wanko soba.
