neighbourhood.
No need to schedule every meal. These are the places we have saved so we can simply see what is nearby, what we feel like eating, and how much energy we have that day.
This is our shortlist, not a fixed itinerary. Opening days and hours can change, so we can check the latest details before heading over. Yorozu has been removed from the plan.
