Hiyaaaaa! This is Ebizo reporting tonight!

I came to Kitasenju area to have heard that there appeared a new restaurant in Kitasenju west exit area!
It’s called “Kai to Sakana to Robata no Bambi”

This area has been popular for the locals’ hidden pubs and introduced by media recently.
「Kai to Sakana to Robata no Bambi」 is the new entry in this competitive market! I am excited xD

それが「これ」です。

▲ This is the indication at the entrance! It says “welcome! 29 steps up to the 3rd floor!” And this little box contains a bell as well.
As I ringed the bell they told me a table number. Mysterious!

Lets go!
