About operator:

“The whole town is your restaurant!!” Eating at one of the restaurants on the Michelin guide is nice. But don’t you want to try something else? Just imagine if the entire town was a one big restaurant. What we provide is an awesome time to visit the places in town, enjoy different types of food, and come in touch with the culture, history, and the local people.
