I arrived at the store on Saturday when it opened at 5:30 p.m., but there was already a line and I couldn't get in on the first turn, so I got a numbered ticket and entered the store around 6:45 p.m.
(Just before that, I was in line at Sanko, but I got worried because there was no guidance from the staff and gave up on entering the store, so I was relieved that there was an operator there.)
There were standard menu items such as daikon radish, as well as unusual menu items such as kurumafu, tomato, and Kaga lotus root dumplings, and they were all delicious.
The giblet skewers topped with white miso were also delicious.
Although the flavor was well absorbed, the soup was light and you could eat each item in one go.
We were told that the 90-minute limit was due to the crowd, but since the menu consisted mostly of oden, we didn't stay for more than an hour before leaving.
We paid about 7,000 yen for two people.

The oden soup on the crab side was very delicious🦀
When I went in the evening, I was told that you can only enter around 8pm, so I was glad that I was able to make a reservation at the store and be able to enter.
