In Closing

We don’t know for certain why it’s closing, but more restaurants in Nishinomiya have been shutting down due to the impact of COVID-19.

Buffet-style restaurants like this are really handy when going out with kids, and I’ve been there several times myself, so this is a shock. The prices were affordable too.

I looked to see if they had any other branches, but all I found was what seems to be an unrelated restaurant in Gunma.

I’d really like to see them make a fresh start and come back someday.
