I went as soon as the store opened, but all the tables were reserved, and those without a reservation had to sit at the counter. The counter was also fully booked right at opening, so I recommend making a reservation for your visit. (I made a reservation) I was very satisfied with the taste, and the atmosphere was not bad either. I think there were part-time staff, but they seemed quite awkward, perhaps because they had just started (there was nothing rude about it). Payment was available in cash, as well as PayPay, Rakuten Pay, and d payment only. I would be happy if they could also accept au PAY, but overall I was satisfied. I would like to go again.
