Retail therapy truly becomes a joy because you become humbled by their level of top-notch service and exemplary thoughtfulness. Just some examples from my trip so far:
1. This restaurant not only allows you to have second helpings of rice, but also lets you enjoy free flow of takana vegetables and metaiko (salted pollock roe).
2. This restaurant offers complimentary soup to whet your appetite.
3. This food court allows you to eat in peace because your children can play to their heart’s content at its enclosed playground.
