The noren curtain above the window is such a small detail but it's the first thing I noticed once it was assembled. Snapping the counter pieces together took a couple evenings, and now the little ramen bowls and sake bottles glow like a real shop front.

The tiny sake bottles and rice balls lined up on the counter are ridiculously detailed for something this small. I spent way longer than I expected on the ramen bowls alone, and the finished nook looks great squeezed between my cookbooks.

The tiny sake bottles and ramen bowls on the counter are painted so delicately that guests actually crouch down to peer inside. Wiring the noren curtain above the window took me an evening, but it's the piece everyone notices first.
