One day, one month, I completely forgot that I had been invited to a delicious yakitori restaurant in Saiin, Kyoto.
?
I came to visit you without any cancellation.
?
The chef's choice course is made with carefully selected pasteurization and seasonal ingredients!
?
There were many surprising points such as strawberries and duck going well together and the sugar content of lily bulbs.
?
While there are a certain number of yakitori restaurants that make blatantly disgusted faces when you tell them what parts they don't like, this one is more than happy to accommodate you and even offers you something to replace it ^_^
?
Thank youâš
?
The owner and the landlady are both very pleasant and I'm sure it will become popular.
?
Personally, I would like to go there again.
