I finally got to visit a restaurant I had been curious about for a long time!!

It's called "Isshoku Santori," specializing in Wagyu cuisine, and the nearest station is Shinfukushima Station on the JR Tozai Line, but it's also within walking distance from Fukushima Station on other lines. 🚃

It's a hidden gem with no sign, and the interior is much more stylish than you'd imagine from the outside. ✨

There are counter seats and private rooms. ✨

This time, I had the popular No. 1 course:
