Back at Jimantei, and enjoying more dishes at Horumon Dojo

Haruru returned to Jimantei for soft yakisoba. At Horumon Dojo, having company meant she could order a wider selection and felt very satisfied. She found something reassuringly reminiscent of the Showa era in both places.

From haruru.1002’s past accounts.
