It is a fashionable appearance

The inside of the store is divided into an antenna shop part and a restaurant part, and it seems that the natto commuter pass can be purchased and used at the restaurant. I bought it at the cash register immediately and asked for an explanation.

Very brown

It was a sticky ice cream like Doldonma that even people who are not good at natto can eat, so I ordered it with fear of war, but it looks like ordinary brown ice cream. However, when I lifted the ice cream a little, it became sticky ... When I try to eat it, this is surprisingly soybean flour .
