A market stall, built in honor of a father who believed in one

Ichinoba is a food stall inside Market Square, on the stretch of Mid-Market the city keeps saying it wants back. One busy hall, a thousand people moving through it, and a stall that knows what most of them order by Thursday.

"Ichiba" is Japanese for marketplace. "Ba" is Vietnamese for father. The name holds both, and so does the kitchen: dry-aging, kelp-curing and knife work usually reserved for a room with tablecloths, served to people with forty minutes.
