Watching this man make noodles is some kind of precious performance art.

What an honor it must have been to be a part of Tatsuru Rai's half cuisine event, half performance art piece. Centered around his soba recipe, Tatsuru delight's his audience with a completely silent show of noodle-making excellence from start to finish. The quiet is deafening, the intimacy between chef and patron is palpable. Wow.
