I went to Nanjya Monjya for a birthday dinner after the recommendation of a friend. I`m glad we followed that person`s advice. Since we had made a reservation for a group of four, we were directed to sit in the private seating area. At its entrance there were slippers, so we took off our footwear and put them on.
