A first order of horumon at 白頭山 became a new favourite

Haruru.1002 could not get through by phone to reserve a meal at 白頭山, a restaurant she often visited. She decided to go without a booking, got in after an hour’s wait and found a dish she wanted to add to her usual order.

From haruru.1002’s past meal account posted in August, edited with permission.

Going to the restaurant after the call did not connect

Rather than giving up on the visit, she decided to try going without a reservation. She reported entering after about an hour’s wait on that occasion.

A first order of horumon became a dish to repeat

She usually ordered the same things there. This time, she tried horumon for the first time and enjoyed it enough to make it part of her future regular order.

She had already eaten plenty earlier that day, but still enjoyed this meal. Her account remembers the Thursday outing through that new favourite.
