    The souvenirs are a bit more pricier than the departmental stores but worth to buy one and try. The black crispy mochi with red wrapper is tasty. It was gone when i walked past it a two hours later.

    黒豚カレーを食べましたが、ただのボンカレー。小さいサラダとスープが付いてますが税込1430円は高過ぎです。せいぜい700円くらいの価値です。観光地区で観光客が1番多い通り沿いなので、観光客相手に荒稼ぎしているようです。
