Mizutaki Hamadaya (水たき 濱田屋) restaurant.
Would-be customers were writing their names and the number of people on the paper in the clipboard.
The restaurant was able to pull 4 tables together to seat us.
From the reflection of the glass on the wall above our heads,
you could see that the outside was raining very hard.
Lunch was hearty and delicious.
The side dish of fried chicken was very good too,
crunchy outside and tender inside.
