(Translated by Google) I arrived at the restaurant around 3 PM on November 19, 2024 (open until 3:30 PM). Due to my tight schedule, after visiting Ikuta Shrine, I just wanted to quickly find a restaurant with good online reviews to enjoy some Kobe beef. Upon entering, the staff informed me that they were about to close and worried about affecting my meal, asking if I still wanted to order. They were very friendly and didn't seem impatient despite me being a foreigner and not speaking the language. After the meal, the waiter, Akira-san, kindly asked where I was from, mentioning that he had also visited Taiwan to eat delicious food and go to Taipei 101. Unfortunately, my broken English and Japanese prevented us from communicating, so he gestured for me to leave his business card. Although it was a simple gesture, it warmed my heart as someone unfamiliar with the place! I didn't know what to say at the time, only thinking of taking a photo with him to express our friendship, ending this memorable moment of my trip 😊. Next time, I'll definitely bring friends to enjoy a meal together before closing time! 😅

2024/11/19到店已接近3點(店營業時間至15:30),因行程安排緊湊,參拜完生田神社後,只想趕緊找個網路評價不錯的餐廳吃個神戶牛過過癮,進店後服務員表示即將關店怕會影響我用餐,詢問是否還要點餐,其間態度親切,不會因我是外國人語言不通而不耐煩。飯後服務員Akira桑還親切地問候我來自哪裡,說他也有來過台灣吃美食、去101等,無奈我的破英文、日文無法與他聊,他示意給我留個名片,雖然只是簡單的動作,卻讓人生地不熟的我心暖暖的!當下我無法表示什麼,只想到跟他留個合照表示友誼,結束這段旅程令我印象深刻的片段😊。下回有機會,我一定帶朋友在非營業結束前一起享用美食!😅
