- They have the best roasted chicken with special secret sauce I’ve ever had.
- They’re located in the mountains with petite red-leaved maple trees.
- There’s a pretty pond with gorgeous –and gigantic! — koi and ducks.
- They have funny looking buddahs with hats and bibs — all in matching crimson.
- Crows eat whatever’s left over — after you leave the table.
- Gurgling streams provide nice soothing sound.
- They have a beer vending machine.
- Fantastic hospitality.
- During Golden Week, they’re open until 5 a.m.
- Everyone knows this place around here despite the fact that it’s over 1.5 hours away, one way.
- They not only have some of the best chicken I’ve ever had, but some of the best rice dish I’ve ever had.
- And the most delicious dumplings.
- Did I mention the food?
