The
exterior
environment
and
interior
decor
demonstrated
traditional
Japanese
vibe,
where
it
utilized
old
Japanese
building
and
yard
on
the
spot.
These
were
nice,
but
that's
the
only
advantage.
Other
than
that,
there
were
many
disadvantages
require
further
improvement.
-
The
water
in
thermos
for
hojicha
can
only
be
considered
warm,
not
even
hot,
which
was
not
desirable
for
traditional
tea
drinks.
The
hojicha
itself
was
not
of
great
quality
and
tasted
much
bitter
and
less
fragrant
than
expected.
-
The
waiter
usually
walked
between
the
guest
tables
to
serve
stuff,
instead
of
walking
from
the
empty
side,
which
we
have
never
seen
any
waiter/server
did
in
Japan.
It's
impolite
and
may
consider
disturbing.
-
In
this
kind
of
tatami-based
place,
servers/waiters
should
be
careful
about
their
footsteps.
If
they
do
not
tread
lightly
walking
on
tatami,
they
will
cause
continuous
disturbance
and
noise
to
the
surrounding
diners.
This
was
also
rarely
seen
in
Japan.
-
Most
of
the
items
on
the
menu,
including
savory
ones
and
some
of
wagashi
were
sold
out,
even
just
two
hours
after
opening
and
five
hours
left
until
closing.
Inventory
control
and
adjustment
are
required.
-
The
texture
of
agar
jelly
was
not
right,
perhaps
too
much
agar
were
used
in
the
process
of
making
the
jelly,
creating
uncomfortable
tasting
experience.
The
flavor
was
also
not
dominant
enough
to
showcase
the
major
ingredient,
like
brown
sugar,
which
was
pity.
As
price
suggests,
this
is
not
a
place
for
cheap
stuff,
so
we
expect
better
wagashi
and
drinks.
We
came
here
to
see
if
we
can
somehow
relive
certain
moments
we
had
in
Japan,
but
it
seems
that
there
are
still
so
much
to
improve.
