Although it is conveniently located near Tobu Utsunomiya Station, it is a pity that there is no breakfast plan.

I bought a lunch box that I had been interested in for a while.It seems that the food is cooked after ordering. Most items, such as hamburger bento and ginger-grilled bento, are 800 yen including tax. They also sold various other side dishes. This time I ordered the daily special "Scallop Poire Bento". It was prepared by the hotel's chef and was very delicious. The frontage of the store is open and easy to enter. This will be a great reward for donating blood once a month from now on.

I bought several take-out dishes before getting on the bus in the evening. It's cheap, there's a lot of variety, and no matter what I buy, it's all delicious, so I'd like to use it more often, but to be honest, it's difficult to buy.There are two male store clerks. It's a really small space, so if you're watching closely, you won't be able to take your time choosing. Moreover, it is difficult to enter if you are standing outside like a gatekeeper.Occasionally, someone from the hotel (also a man) who isn't from the restaurant joins in to see what's going on, and it's already out.I want to buy it, but I don't like the atmosphere so I end up giving up.I always think it would be nice if the store clerk was a woman.

It is still under renovation and cannot be used.When I asked a staff member, it seems that it is scheduled to reopen in 2024, but the exact schedule was not known.
