Have you voted yet?

I love Yayoi-ken.
When I wrote about that on Note, Michiyo-san, whom I follow mutually, actually went to Yayoi-ken and, to my surprise, ordered my favorite menu item.

I am grateful.

Not only did she eat what I recommended, but she even wrote an article about her experience. What's more, she even got a refill on her rice, saying, "Since I have this dashi..."
This is a gratifying story for both me and Yayoi-ken.

Thank you, Michiyo-san!

At Yayoi-ken, they hold a "Set Meal General Election" every year. You vote for your favorite among 10 popular set meals, and if the one you voted for takes first place, you get a 100-yen discount coupon.
I believe the winner last year was the Karaage (fried chicken) set meal.

This is a project that tests your love for Yayoi-ken.
Of course, I want the 100-yen discount coupon. But how could I cast aside my favorite?

This year, I voted for the "Eggplant Miso and Grilled Fish Set Meal" without hesitation.
I know. The "Coming Century" group members like Karaage, Ginger Pork, and Chicken Nanban probably have overwhelming popularity and a high chance of taking first place.

My "Eggplant Miso and Grilled Fish Set Meal" is also incredibly delicious, but its position is more like "20th Century."
If I had to say, maybe it's like Inocchi. It may not be flashy, but it has the calm charm of an older person and great singing ability. His talk skills are also outstanding.

However, my husband was different.

"Ginger Pork Set Meal."

Hey, hey, hey.

Don't go picking Go Morita!!

I have never seen you eating a Ginger Pork set meal at Yayoi-ken. It seems my husband was aiming for the coupon and voted for the set meal that looked like it would win first place.

How cunning...

I think they were also pushing the Ginger Pork set meal on Takuro's radio show that was playing in the restaurant.
My husband must have predicted, "It's going to win this year."
But is that really okay?

Won't you regret not casting a vote for the "Meat and Vegetable Stir-fry Set Meal" (Hiroshi Nagano) that you truly love?
Even if it doesn't get chosen, a favorite is a favorite.

If you're a fan, you should at least support it!
As a fellow 20th Century fan, that's pathetic!

I thought that, but I kept quiet because I figured he would ignore me completely if I said it. And I saved it as material for Note.

By the way, my husband once recommended Yayoi-ken to an acquaintance. Later, when we were eating there, we ran into that acquaintance in the restaurant.

"Oh, I came here because I heard from your husband that this place is good~"

When the other person said that, the staff member who heard it said,

"Thank you very much for introducing our restaurant."

I wonder why.

It was as if he had introduced some long-standing traditional restaurant that doesn't accept first-time customers, which was kind of funny.
