Today I was eating ten-don (天丼: tenpura donburi, where tenpura is fried shrimp and donburi is a bowl with rice at the bottom) and when I was leaving the shop I saw that the noren was inside. A noren is a short curtain that’s put outside restaurant entrances in Japan when they are open for business. In the photo you can see the noren is propped up against the wall inside. You can always tell when a restaurant is open when the noren is outside over the door.
Maybe I should eat faster next time!
