It's been a while since I last visited PayPay Dome! I was invited and got to sit in the Super Box. It was a bit nerve-wracking trying to find my way from the parking lot to the entrance and elevator, but I finally made it to the room. There was a VIP feel to it that made me a bit uneasy, but I enjoyed some beer and snacks from the mini server and experienced a different atmosphere than usual. I also learned that a bottle of Romanée-Conti can cost around 4.3 million yen.

Towards the end of September, when the pennant race was in full swing, I had no interest at all in this game since the winning team had already been decided. However, as I watched the game in the luxurious guest room that felt like a whole different world, I found myself captivated by the space. I'm not really into baseball, but I would definitely go back for another game in the super box. Plus, all the drinks in the fridge are free-flowing and you can even order more. There's even a draft beer server, so you're well taken care of. The food quality is a bit lacking, but the lavish guest room makes up for it, honestly. Rather than focusing on the food, they want you to enjoy the exquisite atmosphere.

At the birthday party of the Gourmet Eccentrics Club members, the food was generally delicious, but I wish there were more impactful and unique dishes befitting the Super Box theme. However, the variety is increasing gradually, which is promising for the future. Interestingly, someone seemed to be eating only french fries this time, probably because they go well with alcohol. By the way, one amusing moment was when a regular guy came to sell Lemon Chu-Hi, asking "How about Lemon Chu-Hi?" It would have been more fun if he had come dressed like someone from EXILE. (laughs)

I was taken to the Yahoo Dome Super Box again this year. As soon as I entered the room, I could see the entire stadium filled with spectators through the window. It felt like a live event rather than watching on TV, and I loved that sensation. My beautiful boss didn't waste any time and quickly took out beers from the fridge. I knew they would disappear in no time. I enjoyed the drinks from the fridge and then the dishes kept coming one after another. There were sandwiches, shabu-shabu salad, pizza, sausage platter, pork belly stew, pork-wrapped baked dish, duck breast with balsamic glaze, and more. The food was delicious, and I was watching the baseball game on TV while eating. It was so relaxing. I noticed that no one was out on the private balcony, so I went out with my boss to take photos with the birds. She had ordered a tower roll cake for me, even though it wasn't anyone's birthday. It was incredibly delicious. Various carts selling cakes and beer merchandise came around to each room. I even got another cake! I had tiramisu and then chilled udon, which was also delicious. The beautiful boss neatly served the dishes, and finally, in the 7th inning, everyone got up and went to the terrace seats to release jet balloons. We cheered for the Hawks, and then we were called back to the room for chilled udon. We enjoyed the udon, which everyone slurped up quickly. Finally, the victory was achieved, and fireworks lit up the sky. It was a fantastic time, and this might be my favorite place in the world.

In the midst of the excitement of winning the league in June 2014, the Hawks were suddenly in the spotlight due to manager Akiyama's announcement of his resignation at the end of the season. Luckily, I was invited to the Super Box again this year and had a great time at the Giants game. Although I didn't see Manager Hara, I was able to see players like Abe and Sakamoto up close. The Hawks won, and I also got to see the fireworks, which was a lot of fun. The Super Box experience was smooth from the priority parking to the exclusive entrance and elevator to the private floor. The room was like a hotel lounge, with a balcony, TV, and bar counter. The food was delicious, including the surprising Mega Hamburg and various appetizers. The wine was good, although it was a bit pricey. Overall, it was a great experience, even though the Hawks lost and we missed the fireworks. In July 2013, I was also invited to the Super Box for the first time to watch the Nippon-Ham game. I was lucky to see Ohtani's debut pitching, and although the Hawks lost again, I enjoyed the hotel-made cake at the end.

After visiting a company's factory, we were treated to special seats for the Hanshin vs SoftBank exchange game. We watched the game in a luxurious hotel room, feeling very comfortable. The match that day was unusual, with a very long defensive time and short offensive time, resulting in a rare 12-point loss. Although we usually only watch games at Koshien Stadium, this time we felt like we were away. We received many photos, but we forgot to take most of them because we were so focused on watching the game. We ate without savoring the food, from beer to shochu and wine. After sending out jet balloons in the 7th inning, we left. It was interesting to see SoftBank also sending out balloons! Now, let's refresh our mood at Nakasu!

Today I went to the Yahoo Dome to watch the Softbank vs. Chiba Lotte game, and it was my first time experiencing the Super Box seats. It truly felt like a VIP experience, with a private entrance through a hotel-like hallway where dedicated staff members were waiting. I was in an 8-person room where we could enjoy food while watching the game on a monitor indoors, and also had the option to watch from our private seats outside. Drinks, including alcohol, beer, shochu, and soft drinks, could be ordered via iPad for unlimited refills. The food ranged from appetizers to pasta, shrimp cocktail, spring rolls, steak, and sushi, all of which were delicious and beautifully presented. The pace of the game was quite fast that day, so we couldn't finish all the food, but the relaxed and luxurious experience made it a truly satisfying outing. It would be perfect for entertaining guests as well. *Reservations for the course menu are required in advance.

My cousin invited me to a super box at his workplace for a baseball game, even though I'm not interested in baseball, I really wanted to go to the super box! The room was spacious with seats for viewing, it was amazing! As soon as we arrived, there were instructions to keep the door open and drinks were available in the fridge. My cousin had already ordered some food for us, including a 1.5kg bone-in pork BBQ style with pineapple sauce, which was delicious! The meat was tender and flavorful, especially the meat around the bone. We also had steak baguette sandwiches, party appetizers in bento boxes, wabi, crab, ikura, pickles, special fried chicken, two-color pizza, and seasonal pasta - all of which were delicious! We ended the night with a baseball win and fireworks inside the dome, which got everyone excited!

On a certain day in October, I had a meeting with a certain telecommunications carrier. During the meeting, I was asked if I was busy on the 30th. When I inquired why, I was told they had baseball tickets. I immediately thought it might be for the Giants game, but the Giants had already lost to the Tigers. It must be for the Hawks game then. And not just any tickets, but Super Box seats at the Yahoo Dome! I had to go! Fortunately, the Hawks won the Climax Series, and the Tigers had won four games in a row, so I was able to attend the game on the 30th. I had to cancel a golf game with my friends to go to the game, but it was worth it. We enjoyed some delicious food and drinks in the Super Box before heading out to the balcony seats to cheer on the team. The game was intense, and when the Hawks scored in the 8th inning, we knew they were going to win. And they did! It was my first time at the Yahoo Dome, first time in a Super Box, first time at a Japan Series game, and first time witnessing a championship win. It was a series of unforgettable first-time experiences.
