Final Thoughts
Following the opening of a “Hanare” by its sister restaurant チィナ, 鳥いと now has one too! The 鶏レモン鍋, available only at 鳥いとハナレ, is said to be a light and refreshing hot pot that’s enjoyable even on hot days. The Hanare also apparently offers all-you-can-eat ice cream, making it perfect for this time of year.
