Everywhere was crowded, so we were reluctantly seated at a very narrow table with four people. I was hungry, so I ordered a bunch of random things. First, my husband had a draft beer, while my daughter and son had lemon squash for some reason. Thank you for the meal.

I took a bath, chugged my third beer eagerly, picked up Zu from the station, had some winter beer while waiting, and felt pretty good. Zu came out of the ticket gate and asked if we should go for dinner. Since we've exercised a lot today, we decided to eat something substantial. We were excited to see a new restaurant, Toriki, open in front of Kawachinagano Station, so we headed there. Toriki is known for its 280 yen menu, but with tax added, it's actually over 300 yen per dish. I explained all this to Zu, but somehow ended up talking about a breakfast set at another place. We ordered the kamameshi first. The atmosphere at Toriki was chaotic due to its recent opening, but the service staff were friendly and eager to please. Zu's gyoza was well cooked on the outside but cold inside, which was amusing. I tried the new wine on the menu and ordered the tsukune cheese, which I recommended waiting a bit longer for. Despite some mishaps, the opening of Toriki in front of Kawachinagano Station was a celebratory event, and we ended up drinking a bit too much.

When you go by car, the parking is free for 2 hours. I felt the thoughtful consideration of the female manager. She came to apologize a few times when the food was delayed. The shochu with hot water was a bit lukewarm. It was quite crowded on a Sunday night. The salad was roughly arranged. It would be easier to eat if the lettuce was cut into smaller pieces.
