There are 13 cats. One of cats is getting on your knee by itself. So cute!!

I went there on Sunday afternoon. There were 3 groups before us. I expected full of girls, but actually 2 couples and 1 girl-group.

Kyoto 喬都 Soba noodle restaurant

Hi, there! I'm sorry for a loooong silence😣. I'll try to update my blog.

Today I went to a soba noodle restaurant called "Kyoto". It's the same pronunciation as a historical city name in West Japan, but written in different kanji.

My husband and I arrived on 12:40, at that time,not so many people, but soon, it was full of customers.

The interior was Japanese style and very very clean!!

We ordered "Tenzaru", which is cold soba noodle and tempura. It cost 1600yen each , a bit expensive, but it came with two big shrimps!! It is a big deal!

Taste was good!

Don Quijote

Do you like Don Quijote?

I love Don Quijote, and 100yen Shops!
I go there three times a week!!

Don Quijote in Niigata is good for shopping,
because its aisles are not so narrow compare to them in Tokyo.

And it is located near JR Niigata Station.

You know, 100yen shop and Don Quijote are close each other.
You should go both of them!!
