A day off in Toyosu, with craft beer and abalone

Haruru took a day off for a leisurely visit to Toyosu. She enjoyed craft beer and abalone at Senkyaku Banrai, then a bath at Manyo no Yu.

From haruru.1002’s past accounts.

Taking a leisurely day in Toyosu

Haruru used a day off to visit Manyo no Yu in Toyosu at an easy pace. It was a weekday after a three-day holiday, and she found the roads quiet on that occasion.

Craft beer and abalone at Senkyaku Banrai

She began with a craft beer at Senkyaku Banrai. When abalone was recommended to her, she decided to try it.

Haruru found it tender, with the aroma and flavour of the sea, and was pleased she had chosen it.

Leaving time after the bath

She then had a bath. At the point when she wrote her account, another beer was still a plan for later, with more time to take things slowly.
