On this day, I had a regular meeting in Kobe City in the afternoon. In the morning, I was super excited watching the Japan vs. Sweden match in the World Cup, but then… due to the typhoon, the JR line was severely delayed… Oh no! I dashed onto the Hankyu line and somehow made it just in time. With only one madeleine from equ that I bought yesterday in my stomach, I was extremely hungry and looking forward to my visit to Torisho Ishii after almost five months!Here’s what I had, in the order it was served:**Drinks** - Draft Beer, Suntory Premium Malts - Hyakunen no Kodoku Soda from Kuroki Honten, Miyazaki Prefecture - Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Tea (Jasmine)**My subjective ratings!
