From Yoshika
I have the impression that even if I go to a newly opened restaurant, I probably won't go there again, but I came across a restaurant that was shockingly delicious. You can tell right away that the ingredients they use are very good, and the preeparation method and flavor that make the most of them are amazing. It's so delicious I'm groaning.
From Mayu
It was delicious and I was able to create another wonderful memory with my mother.
My mother was also very happy and I was able to see her smile for the first time in a long time.
I can't thank you enough.
