I had plans to go to this remote kakigori (shaved ice) spot in Chichibu. Sure enough, the night before it was featured on a prime-time food show as the #1 spot in Saitama. Lines ensued.

Uniquely qualified in this country (you ought to post a link). Hope she's the owner: I have no issue with someone exploiting themselves, not others
