同業の友人達との飲み会で6人で貸切で利用させて頂きました。
お任せコースで、さまざまなパスタが食べられて（4、5種類出てきたかな？）、締めのデザートも大変美味しく頂きました。
今度は彼女と行きたいと思います。

I rented it out for a private party with 6 people for a drinking party with friends from the same industry.
In the omakase course, we were able to eat a variety of pastas (I think there were 4 or 5 types), and the dessert at the end was very delicious.
I want to go with her next time.
