Staff meal rice dish added to the grand menu
“Homemade Chicken Ham and Cha Soba Salad.” Light and refreshing with sesame sauce, but still rich in flavor. It even comes with one fried shrimp, making it just right for a hot day!
Do eels really live in rivers around here?
Sadly, the eel in the Shinbori River dried up… If only today’s rain had come a little earlier… 😭
