Two Americans eating their favorite food, eel
I took two Americans to Narita-san. They really wanted to eat eel. They had to wait six hours to order the most popular “Kawatoyo” eel restaurant. This was impossible, so we gave up on the eel.After visiting the temple, we went to a branch of "Kawatoyo". Fortunately, we were able to order after waiting for only 15 minutes. It's wonderful to see the two of them so satisfied with their smiles.
