Settling in
Unsurprisingly, the first thing I noticed when Otoha and Hitomi guided us in was our classmates and those from the basketball club who had just arrived staring blankly around them. They had this look of awe and fascination at how luxurious the interior was.
There’s a huge wooden pillar in the middle which serves as a dividing line between the dining area and the service area. To match the motif, the floorboards used were more exquisite than what you would see in a traditional Japanese inn.
It’s no wonder Eguchi-sensei stopped and asked me if this really was the place.
Compared to the usual family restaurants that most people go to or other shops that specialize in one thing, this place was something those who wanted a finer cuisine and a better service would go to.
