THE STORY

Nishiki market is a narrow covered street in the middle of Kyoto, four hundred metres of tiny food stalls. Yui has the afternoon off, and she wants Ben to taste everything, and to do it all in Japanese. At a pickle stall, the seller calls out to them. An hour later, at the far end of the street, Ben can't eat another thing, and dinner by the river is at seven. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
