I left something behind and caused some trouble, but I am very grateful for their response, which included a letter. I would love to visit again the next time I'm in Shiga.

As you can see from this comment, we also have pet-friendly private rooms and strive to provide meticulous service and hospitality that caters to our customers' needs. - First visit. The mizutaki and grilled skewers are delicious, but for a drinker like me, I recommend the spicy mackerel potato salad. I feel like I could drink several glasses of shochu with just that. Personally, I think the motsu niratama is also a great choice. This time, I drank a ton in the private room in the back.
