The winter air bites as people seek warmth. At a street corner in Osu, Nagoya, a ramen stall offers a haven: four seats and a steaming bowl for five hundred yen. Regulars, often businessmen returning from journeys, bring back small tokens of their travels, gifts for the proprietor, who has run the stall for seventy-five years. What is it about this simple meal that brings such solace on a cold day?
