I usually go alone so I can just use a counder, but this time I had a companion who really wanted spare ribs, so I made a reservation. I had the chicken confit and she had the tender, melt-in-your-mouth spare ribs. I had the chicken confit and my companion was very satisfied with the tender and melt-in-your-mouth spare ribs.
I went to a restaurant that I had been curious about for a while, as I was able to make a reservation! Since it was during the Obon holiday period, the restaurant was very crowded. I had the hamburger, roast beef comparison bowl, today's dessert, and cream cheese pudding. The hamburger was juicy when I cut into it... even though it was coarsely ground, it was completely different from the ones made with supermarket ground meat, and everything including the appetizers was very delicious ♡. However, despite having made a reservation, I was told due to a mix-up that my stay would be limited to one hour, so I couldn't relax ^^; (But thank you for your consideration!). Still, there are many other menu items that I'm curious about, so I would like to make another reservation and visit again. I would appreciate it if I could spend a little more quietly next time!
